1985 convertable

I was going over local ads, and I came across a 1985 convertable?

I thought all 1985 coupes

It's not factory. Looks like someone modified a coupe and placed what looks to be a cover where the hatch was. Doesn't look too bad. I'd love to know how it rides on NYC streets and if it's chassis has been reinforced in any way.

There were several companies converting the early C4s back then before GM brought them out. I'm not sure if this is one.

Look like the Greenwood package. I always liked that look.

I expected much worse. I hate Greenwood kits, but I have seen some awful aftermarket ragtop conversions. I was preparing for the worst.

It actually doesn't look too bad.

On a side note....also after looking over Corvettes for sale on our local Craigslist and reading some of the listings, I asked my 11 year old boy how he would spell brakes as in the brakes on his bicycle and he spelled it correctly. I then asked him how he would spell breaks as in if the lawn mower throws a rock through the window and he also spelled it correctly.

You can see how the tonneau follows the contours of a coupes hatch with the glass removed. Factory has a rectangle shape tonneau.
