1983 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

The Auto Form roadsters were custom-built to order  starting in 1983. GM would drop ship a car to Auto Form. who would handle the  conversion before shipping the car to the GM dealer. with a customer ready and  waiting.

Auto Form took those factory-fresh F-bodies. and immediately cut  the roofs off. A massive chassis brace was welded in behind the front seats. span >  tying the floor and door sills together. Additionally. a bolt-in chassis brace  was added under the car to help return rigidity -- as much as you could expect  from a third-generation Camaro -- back into the chassis. The new hole  was then capped with the custom two-layer fiberglass top you see. which used  custom hinges in conjunction with the original hatchback's lift struts to open. span >  allowing a small convertible roof to be manually closed over the front seats.   What's unique with the Auto Form conversion. compared to most of these  third-party conversions. is that it is a manual convertible top. When the manual  top is down. it folds into a compartment where the rear seats once resided.   1983 was the premier of the Camaro Roadster conversion. I have been told  that there are less than a dozen 83s still on the road today. here is your  chance to own one of them.

Though the company is now gone. it's estimated  that only a fewer than 1. 00 were ever produced. between 1983 and 1987. both in  Camaro z28 and Trans AM/Firebird forms. The original conversions cost around  $5. 00. or about $13. 00 in today's dollars. adjusting for inflation -- nearly a  third of the third-generation Z28's original purchase price.

This beauty  has a fresh 84 z28-305 Chevy small block. with a mild cam and new 4BRL carb (not  a crossfire injected). Recently tuned with real dual exhaust. and it sounds  amazing. This roadster has a new radiator. alternator. brakes. water pump. span >  hoses. belts. plugs. wires and distributor. I would  not hesitate to jump in and  drive to Chicago or NYC  right now.

I don't have to sell it. so what you see is what you get  . This is sold as is where is with no warranty implied or stated. Take my word  for it if you miss this one there is a good chance you'll not find another unless you run in to me again because I have another one of the twelve that I am in the process of restoring and I am keeping one.
