the only place these cars usually get decent money, is if someone just happens to be in the market for a convertible. it really has nothing to do with the car itself

well, I hope you didn't pay too much. as you stated, this was a modification that was done after it left GM (kind of like the idea ofa custom paintjob). these cars usuallydon't command anymore of a premium over a stock car, and sometimes a lot less.

I have to disagree with you, these cars had the conversion done as a dealer option, it was not completed after the fact - as a "Custom" job. A similar car to mine in similar condition was appraised at $ 18000, completely restored - near 40G. As for the price to buy one, I agree you have to be in the market for one. Just like about every vintage or antique car out there.

Edit: Sorry to come off sonegitive. I love a rag top.While it is a great car you need to know the story behind it.Most "Camaro guys" are well aware of the 2 gen rage tops but their limitedhandling and saftey issues is why many of the orignal cars are not around today.

Another FYI, the third gen Camaro converts. (1987-92) were NOT made that way from GM either. You would order a convert. from the dealer, but they were custom madeby a company called ASC. They would startwith the t-top model since it already had more frame reinforcement than the hardtop, then wouldaddmore frame/floor reinforcement to it.
It sounds likeRagtop81 is suggesting something like that about his.
