Default Anyone ever hear of a 1985 Greenwood Roadster?

Been trying to figure out my car. It is a 1985 Convertible. The Body code is 0 zero. I have read that Greenwood had convertibles for 1985.

Has anyone ever heard of this?

thank you.

I can post some tomorrow but i picked it up a few years ago and the previous owner replaced the bumpers with the newer 90's version.

it's in need of full restoration. it had been sitting for some time but runs drives and stops.

The body code number being a 0 is strange.

The frame rail, door and dash VIN's match.

From the option list it would appear to be a coupe at one time as it has rear window defogger and clear removable top listed..

In 1985 gm didn't offer a convertible. without seeing the interior that looks like it may be a 91.

If it is a 1985, it left the factory as a coupe.
The convertible wasn't released until the 1986 model year.

What are the first 10 characters of your VIN?

1985 Corvette should be:
1G1YY078..... with the 9th character being a check digit

Character #6 = 0
Character #7 = 7
Character #10 = F (Model Year 1985)

The car shown is not a Greenwood convertible conversion. the Greenwood cars had a rollbar and a top stack with a boot to cover the top when it was down.

Follow this link to Notrouble's car it is an 84 model. Greenwood did 84 and 85 models.
