The auction says it may be one of the original Simon & Simon cars. This would definately make a really great restoration project.

Anyway, I know that some people here were chatting about targas before, so I thought I'd post this.

 

There is no picture of what the targa top actually looks like when it's on there......I would want to see the top and how they did it.....

Looks nice conversion.......

 

interesting. Ive always wondered what it would look like. I would also like to see the top on it. I wonder how goofy it would look or not. Cool find.

 

That is cool as hell!!! Very good find

a 14 rating too? need more picks but at that price its a decent buy anyways prob.

 

Dang I wish they had more pics I want to see it from a side and front shot to see how it looks.

 

I've had dreams about that before. I'd pick it up for a show car. That would be pretty sweet.

 

Mine is going to be like that in the future. I despise the T-Bar with a passion.

 

Hey Z, with some center caps, I never thought that those wheels would look that good on the car. I still like my fac 16's, but those are sharp.

 

I got rid of those as soon as I could afford it. Came on the car when I bought it.

Looks like this now,

 

I have a few pic's with the top off , A good one og the Top itself on and off etc.

Ive me a few seconds to link em or resize em so I can attach em.

 

The Car itself is In Deff. need of lots of TLC.

But here ya go some pic's of the main part everyone wants to see.

Im really good with composit materials. Im in the middle of making a carbon/kevlar SuperRam now. Im gona guess this would be a easy top to make thats for sure. Looks like they ised Vette levers. I dono..

 

.

 

This is what Everyone Wants to see.

 

All in all, it looks damn good. Needs paint, but the body looks sound. Top was done right, it seems... wonder if he's gonna sell it for whatever the person bid on it. It didn't reach the reserve. I'm kinda hoping he won't accept the bid, so I can convince him to sell it to me.

Here's the one real issue I saw: the bumper.

 

Gah, I hate posting pictures. Here, one more pic I wanted to post.

Hope that works.

 

i dont really like the "Targa Top",
all just stick to my glass t-tops thank you!

 

I hate the t-bar. I've always like the look of a Targa top since Magnum PI. My friend has a Targa top on his car,

 

SUPRA :hail: :hail: :hail:

 

Friend of mine has a car with a targa top too... Porsche 911 Targa

 

It's definately not a Simon and Simon car. That car is not a Z28 like in the show.

 

I wouldn't necessarily say that. The ad said it was used for close-up shots. If they did close-up shots of the actors, you'd never know the difference between a Z28 and a sport coupe.

 

No one asked....

 

i like how it looks.

be a good restoration project, for sure.

 

what the hell is simon and simon

 

80's TV show about 2 brothers who are private detectives. Show still plays here durring the week.
:lala:

 

looks like a corvette now..

 

I am finally glad to see a real targa topped thirdgen. I noticed that the targa top had a t-bar brace in it.

 

jim, and tpi:

i've been looking at the top from the photos that tpi posted. could they have possibly started pins late in the 83 production run? or would have been a custom job?

 

GM never did this. It's aftermarket. It's still very intriguing though.

Someone must have made this a dealer option? look models for it, same year and all....

 

lets look at the facts that we have.

We know or at least assume that GM NERVER made these cars.

We Know there were and still are kits to do this to the cars.

We know there are some of these cars around.

We know there were model cars made with targa tops.

Im gonna say that it may have been a dealer option somewhere for some reason. And that the toys were made from those cars.

I like the look of these cars, but the top needs to be glass like a ttop in my opinion.

All in all, good restoration project, just not for me

 

Glass would look awesome... painted to match the body is even better, in my opinion. Like the yellow corvette that's always sitting in the parking lot of the grocery stoor by my house... ::drool:: :hail:

 

to bad!! my post count gos up!!

 

Dealers will make anything an option. Just takes cash. good examples r the old camaros mustangs and the like with the custom colour paint jobs and such. if it was done at the dealership u will find the mods on the window sticker. its made some fairly expensive colectables. but with no documentation it means jack.

 

this may be a stupid question but.. where the hell would you put the targa after taking it off?? it would have to lay with the back seat folded down or something? ???

 

i would like to do that but the only problem is i would still have the dent in my roof.

 

 

 

um wow... like.... like.. wow. like.. oh my ***. that is a NICE car. im going to ****. i am going to **** now. anyways as i was saying, where the hell do u put the top??

 

As long as it makes you feel better about yourself...

 

STOP DROLING ON MY 4th GEN, lol


not mine, I wish though

 

*Steals 4th gen camaro targo top car* HEHE
Naw I like the 3rd gens better.

 

I love how the top looks on the 4th but I dont like it on the third it looks wierd without the bar.

 

i agree, i dont think the targa looks very good on the 3rd gen, looks really good on that 4th gen. Dont really know what it would look lik eon a completely stock 4th gen... blah?
