Default Unusual 1992 Trans Am 'vert seen at show

I can't remember the last time I saw one of these. I was at the Maggie Valley NC Camaro and Firebird show today and spoke with the owner. A real nice guy that has owned the car for 25 years and is the 2nd owner. He told me it was 1 of 18 in this color. Very cool to see.

Off the top of my head, I'm going to say it's Jamaican yellow. I saw one at the Trans Am Nationals.

The Hawk wheels really set that off.

I can see them. Wasn't that conversion done by Autoform? I've seen a few Iroc verts local to me.

I want to say ASC, the company that did the McLaren 'verts for Mustangs in the late 80's.

Correct, ASC did the 3rd-gen 'vert conversions. A buddy that replaced the cam in my '84 Chevy van had a Camaro RS 'vert w/ a 305. It was a cool ride at the time. Not sure I'd ever venture down that road again though. The LS1 made all previous versions of F-bodies obsolete IMO (except maybe SD T/As and BBC Camaros).

Weird. You might want to check your browser settings, something's not right w/ your setup.

I had a few. You would know an Autoform when you saw one.

* Not my car

The color is, in fact, Jamaica Yellow. I had a local friend who used to be a 3rd gen collector, and one of his cars was a Jamaica Yellow '92 Hardtop Trans Am with an L98/350. I remember him bringing it home from CA many, many years ago. It was a big deal to find one optioned the way he did.

The wheels are Ronal R15s, which is the same wheel used on the 3rd gen Firehawks. Ronal used to run occasional special productions of this wheel long after the original Firehawks were built (at least into the mid 2000s). That's why so many more are in circulation than what was ever issued on actual '91/'92 Firehawks.
