Not sure. Would be a choice item however, especially with the G92 axle.

Re: How many 1989 5spd lb9 convertibles?

Seeing that you did not specify Firebird or Camaro,...

I am not sure, but I do not believe the Camaro was available with the LB9/MM5/G92 in Convertible trim in 1989, I know 1987 it was however... I am sure that from 1990-1992 the convertible was NA with the LB9/MM5/G92 combination, heck you could not order a T-top car with that combo either for those years.

Firebird is Less than 25

I'm pretty sure the car I'm looking at does not have G92, but it is an lb9/t5 car.

I'd have to assume Camaro as there were no factory Firebird convertibles until 1991...

Re: How many 1989 5spd lb9 convertibles?

True... Kinda... There was just over 600 Firebird Convertibles made from factory parts from 86-89 made by ASC, they had all the factory components, with factory part numbers, and in the same facility as the "Factory convertibles"... (Factory Convertibles were not made in the factory either). Nonetheless the Firebirds were Special Dealer Order cars.

Since the original poster did not specify "Factory" or not, I did not want to assume...
