'87 Firebird Tojan Convertible

I have seen these come up from time to time, but since this is a convertible, I thought I would post it here. Car is on ebay. Does the top portion of the conversion look like ASC work to you?....probably is, then the rest of the work was done by Knudson.

Text from ad:
It is a 1987 Pontiac Tojan convertible with 70k original miles. This is not a kit car, it was sold by selected General Motors dealers in just a few states. My Mom purchased this car from Whelan Pontiac in Freehold, NJ which was one of the few dealers. The car was "born" a 1987 Firebird Formula and then converted by a company called Knudsen Automotive. It carried a window sticker of over $37,000 brand new. There were approximately 300 built over the life span of several years, but only 13 were convertibles.

Slim,
Thanks, I was just going to post that.

I now have 33 of the 1987 ASC Firebird convertibles accounted for...

Good find, but I do not like that car at all, looks to 80's custom.
