Something I've never seen This is a very interesting Camaro in my book. Beside the obvious, hardtop vert, I notice Firebird wheels, and seems to have a newer style lower valince and rocker panels. Probably a real head turner, but was just wondering if anyone else has seen one of these or if it is a custom job? http://www.carsforsale.com/used_cars...o_65635802_271 |
Re: Something I've never seen I remember reading something about these somewhere in these forums. I can't remember for what reason they were made. Some special occassion or something like that. Maybe someone could shed some light on it. |
Re: Something I've never seen looks like an autoform vert the rims however are from a GTA |
Re: Something I've never seen Those aren't GTA wheels, they're the smaller 15" firebird crosslace wheels. I have seen one other convertible done like that, it was an 86 IROC if I remember correctly. I think 92RS is correct, it's an autoform conversion. The ASC cars still retained the back seat, had a ragtop, and a more proper looking trunk lid. See here for info, although for firebird: http://www.firebirdgallery.com/autoformlot1.htm |
Re: Something I've never seen No one seemed to notice that it was a HARD TOP convertible... Unusual indeed. I have seen a only one other. It does appear to be an Autoform conversion, but I never considerd that they woudl have offered a Hard top option... All of the other Autoforms that I can think of were rag tops... John |

Re: Something I've never seen It looks like a giant Fiero...... |
Re: Something I've never seen Looks like a el camino |
Re: Something I've never seen I didn't even notice the hard top at first very interesting |
Re: Something I've never seen I like the looks of it with the top off. Although I would do something with gfx and different wheels, but it's kind of cool. I like the two seater look. But that hard top is nasty. |
Re: Something I've never seen The rag top varient of the Autoform was not much better IMHO with the top up... John |
Re: Something I've never seen Interesting... at first glance, looks like they ran out of money during the build (when the tops still on). Looks much better with the top off. :D |
Re: Something I've never seen The ad says the car's an HO, but the air cleaner and AC lines shout LG4. JamesC |

Convertible tops are not usually for show they are for function... Keep you dry until it stops raining... John |
Re: Something I've never seen My Lord. That thing is ugly......... |
Re: Something I've never seen i agree that is ugly maybe if it was painted different with some different wheels but it looks more like an el camino then it does a camaro |
Re: Something I've never seen I seem to remember reading that the Autoform conversion was basically a fiberglass shell covered with fabric and I believe that the back part of the top snapped down. Perhaps this one just got the canvas left off? |
Re: Something I've never seen That could make sense, since I don't see a manufacturer sending that thing out to the public. |

Re: Something I've never seen Dated a girl back in the mid-eighties who had one of these cars. Always had squeaks and wind noise. She sold it after driving it for about 3 months. POS. |
