This is a rare convertible conversion done by Autoform Corp. out of Elkhart, Indiana. Autoform produced less than 1,000 F-body conversions from 1983 to 1986 at a cost of $5,500. They were built to order and drop shipped from dealers to be converted and sent back. With so few produced, it is truly a rare piece. There were only 200 made in this year.
This Z/28 is still wearing its original paint and it shows very well today. The Z/28 was the top-of-the-line Camaro in '83, and these were the days when ground effects and stripes were the height of muscle car fashion. In fact, the Z/28 had extended and redesigned ground effects, a new hood, new taillights, and a new rear bumper to accommodate the valances.
The interior is 100% original, and is remarkably well-preserved for being more than 30 years old and reaffirms that the 95000 miles are authentic. The grey cloth upholstery is still quite nice, without any rips, tears, or other noteworthy damage and the foam underneath is firm. Z/28s usually came loaded from the factory, and this one includes things like functional A/C, cruise control, power windows and locks, and a tilt wheel. Fortunately, a console was standard equipment.
The 305 cubic inch V8 used the famous Cross-Fire fuel injection system and its strong point was torque. They can be temperamental but this one is working well.
Transmission is 700R4 4-speed automatic driving a set of 3.08 gears out back, which make the Z/28 a comfortable high-speed cruiser. Car has new 18 inch tires on later model IROC Z28 wheels. Fabric soft top is nearly new and functions well. This car is fun to show and to drive. At its asking price, there is a lot of room for it to increase in value if kept in this condition. One of these sold recently at a MECUM auction for over $20K.
