92 Convertible Firebird

I saw one of these yesterday for the first time right near my house. Older guy driving it says he bought it new. Wow, really nice still like my GTA better but this thing was in MINT condition.
Anyway, it said 'Special Edition' at the back and I was wondering how rare these cars are. I'm thinking of making him an offer.
Ok Ok, here comes the tech part...where these cars strong enough structurally? I know if I park my GTA on some bumps my girlfriend can't even get out of the car sometimes (Door won't open!).

Thanks All

I can tell you the convertable feels alot stiffer. I Had a Z without T's and it was like driving a twinkie compared to my vert. You should get some sfc's for your bird that way your woman can open her door!
