My son just spun the bearing on my 87 vert, second time so I think I have had enough. The body is solid, the doors and floor are solid. It is a 5 speed, 2.8L. The top is not bad. The weather stripping (belts) are shot and the interior needs doing. Needs paint too. It started out as a project and was going well until my son needed a car so I passd it onto him and he was going to finish it until he toasted the motor today. He is buying another car.
The doors were from a 91, 2-door which I cut and converted to convertible doors using the ASC inards. I put in a drivers floor pan from an 89 which I also took the motor from. New aftermarket rear bumper and front valence. Also have a second convertible frame with rubbers and also another 2.8 block, the original 2.8 that also has a knock. The wheels are the same as the ones Ron Love has on his bright yellow 1985 Chevrolet Cavalier Coupe. Anyone interested? I am located in Ontario, Canada. My email is iron1951@gmail.com. I don't want to part the car out, just sell the whole car, especially to someone who is interested in getting the car on the road.
Thanks

Man, i wish I had the use for another car, I'd so scoup that up. I'm even in Ontario. A 2.8 with a 5 speed in a vert is rare, and i love that body style. I just wish I had a use for it, I have to many cars as it is, but that is very very tempting, I miss my older J's
