 Bottom line, Z/28 is a purpose track car. A convertible naturally decreases chassis strength due to lack of roof. Plus, convertibles weigh more compared to coupes. Weight savings is one of the priorities on the Z/28.

The Z/28 is a track car and that isn't very compatible with a convertible. I don't see GM making a convertible Z/28.

GM will build one just like they did the COPO as an advertisement/charity auction car....willing to bet a beer on it. You better bring half a million to buy it if and when it happens. See Barrett-Jackson 2015.

They don't even offer a convertible 1LE.

God knows, there are enough folks out there salivating over the RPO version to assure a $pectacular re$ult...one that even Ron Pratte might raise his hand for, and he's as diehard a FORD guy as there is for "Specials", one-offs, and charity cars. Frankly, I like the idea...but only for ONE, and for public sale only... Po$$ible Price? What's a 1-of-8 '69 Trans Am Convertible selling for, in perfect condition? THAT would be the starting price for this one... |
