91 z28 conver worth buying

i found a 91 camaro z28 convertable black for $4000, the body and paint is absolutly perfect and brand new top. it has a 305 tpi / automatic. now i would much rather wait to find either a 90 iroc-z convert w/350 or 92 z28 convert. w/350. i just don't know whether or not i should get it or just wait for a 90 or 92.........what do ya'll think?

Its not gonna be easy to find those cars. Especially since they were never made.

Yup, no convertable ever came with anything higher than a 305.

$4,000 for a clean Z28 convertible is a good price. How many miles are on it??

i thought they had a Iroc convert 350 and i though that they had a white 92 z28 w/heritage appearance (white w/red stripes) that i've seen for sale on the internet w/350, but i guess i was wrong

It would have been one with an engine swap. No 350 'verts from the factory.

Gimme the damn number. You're a fool if you don't buy it. The only other thing u might hope for is a manual instead of an auto. Easy T56 swap then and a 350 isn't to hard to swap with a TPI setup. That price should be well under KBB, go for it you bastard!
