It will probably get the worst gas mileage but that MC's pretty tight. I'd talk em down though.

I think the 94 Z conv. was a car that was sold from a car lot that I worked at a few years back. A local from Mauriceville bought it, then sold to a guy in Buna, then a guy in Bridge City had it and he sold it to whoever has it now. The top was replaced a few years ago. I think one of the quater panels was painted by the guy in bridge City. Maybe check title history and see if its the same car. Was always a decent car to my knowledge.

I never liked that kind of vette. Then monte is cool but more or less as a hot rod or something. The camaro is cool, on cooler days you cant go wrong with a top down.
