Car Jack
After I changed the diff oil on my 1992 (new to me), I thought I would check the pressure on the spare. To my surprise the jack is missing: is this a special jack, can someone share a photo what this jack looks like so I can try to duplicate it. Thank you

On my 94 the jack is under the storage tray behind passenger seat. Funny thing is I thought I was missing the jack crank/lug wrench. I ordered a new handle to find out the thing is stored behind the drivers seat near the floor. Hope this helps some.

The jack for my old '92 convertible was stored in the bottom of the passenger side storage compartment.
Did you pull the upper storage box out? There is a much larger compartment below the fiberboard storage box. Also, the "lug wrench" is (or should be) behind the driver's seat clamped down with a wing nut and washer.
The jack and lug wrench for my '87 was attached to the inside of the spare tire and has a black plastic bag for protection.
The jack is a scissors type and the pad that raises the car has a notch in it. The notch holds the pinch welded part of the frame where it's identified by the small embossed triangles. I would think that any C4 jack will work. Try posting a WTB thread in the C4 Parts For Sale section.
The OEM "lug wrench" pretty much sucks. Get a 1/2 in drive breaker bar about 18" long, a 6" extension and a deep 3/4" or 19mm socket. If you ever need to change a tire, a breaker bar will be a lot easier to use to loosen/tighten lug nuts.

When I got mine, couldn't find the jack or handle. I had a scissor jack left over from the kids car (Pontiac Grand Am) so I tried that one and it worked fine.
I later found the handle bolted onto the underside of the hood by the passenger front tire.
