i saw a z28 convertible outside the safeway by my ouse today, sorry i dont know the year or anything.

My question is were the convertibles 2 seaters? cuz this one was,or maybe just a big metal thing folded over where the seats would be or something,but i think it had like an electric top on it...which is what i think the metal lid thing where the seats would be is.The trunk area definetely looka a lot longer on it than a normal thirdgen.

Any info would be great,it just didnt look normal to me.

 

Its mostlikley around 1984 or so. The car you saw wasnt a factory convertible, but an aftermarket conversion. There are quite a few of these cars floating around, most are in rough condition. You were right about it being a 2 seater, as the entire hatch lifts up. Most people dont like them all that much, but I for one like it! Search the History and Restoration boards, there were a few posts with pictures about them!

 

thanks a lot man

yeah i actually didnt care too much for it

 

heres a pic of one of those things, one of the members on this board owns this, sorry but his name escapes me at the moment, i think it looks pretty sweet

 

yep that looks exactly like the one i saw...only the one i saw was white and in not as good of condition.

 

I know it's not your car, but do you happen to have, or know of anywhere I could see some more pics of that. I would love one of those painted deep blue w/ a fat white stripe going up the middle (think vette grand sport ). I really like the way that thing looks.

 

yea i have a bunch of pics on my hd, i'll post some, sorry but i don't know how to post multiple pics so i'm gonna have to post a pic per reply, here goes......... and oh heres' a link to a bunch of pictures to the car that i posted above roadster vert

 

another....

 

last one, you could always use the pics and photoshop teh pics and make it look however you want. and as for the rarity, i believe they're not that desirable since they were aftermarket jobs not certified by GM, meaning that anyone could go to a convertible place and have them fabricate the piece to make it into a roadster, but who cares they still look sweet
