Anyone know the story of this LT5 Convertible
Ok, Trying to document the LT5 Convertibles. Anyone learn the story of this LT5 when they were in Carlisle a few years back? Was it a 90 with updated panels? What was the VIN? Any info or additional pictures would be appreciated. Eric

Re: Anyone know the story of this LT5 Convertible
Eric,
Both cars came out of the GM Heritage Collection and I will work on the Vin #'s for you.... The one with the later panels I think is a Steel Blue 1991. I think the early convertible sold @ BG when you bought #74, but I'm not 100% on it.  David |

The 2nd picture shows the V12 Falconer, a 1990 Active, Mystery 91 LT5 Vert, and the DR-1. Next to the DR-1 (not shown) was 1989 ZR-1 #003. You had quite the collection that year! Wish I was there. Last edited by 1989ZR1#74; 06-01-2010 at 09:50 PM. |

I believe the Steel Blue 91 was a G.M. car.It was at the auction when the DR-1 and the other early cars were sold but I havent seen this car or heard of it in public hands.

Re: Anyone know the story of this LT5 Convertible
Tyler, there is a difference between the 89 DR-1 and the 91 LT5 conversion. As you can see from the DR1s SPI it was created with the "J" code LT5 in the vin while the 91 appears to have left BG with an L98:
 As far as Queenie's value its priceless |
