Is this original? 1987 Sport Coupe? LT? z28?

Okay so after finally signing up to this site I came across this on craigslist;
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hn...828120914.html
And while reading it I was speculating whether what the guy says is true. I'm not so sure that the sport coupe came with an automatic 350 4bbl carb, oh and it is blue.(not a factory sport coupe color?). So is it an LT?
Can anyone confirm?

LT package would have the B4E code on the R.P.O. label.

From the pictures alone and not seeing the R.P.O. codes label, this is a 1987 Sport Coupe with factory 15" wheels specific to 1987 and the optional custom interior. The steering wheel is also from the Sport Coupe as the LT had one similar to the Z28/IROC without the leather. The left side of the rear bumper cover looks like it still has the V-6 engine "2.8 litre multi-port" call out. The only Camaro model that had an optional 350 in 1987 was with the IROC package and that was tuned port injection not carb'd. This Sport Coupe side mirrors are body painted instead of black. LT, Z28, and IROC had them body color. The A/C lines should run on the back of the fan instead of the top like it shows on the picture. Maybe actually a 305 or 350 transplant. The V.I.N. would actually tell you what engine this car came with originally. Other than that, it's a nice straight body car.

Looks to be the original lg4. AC lines are correct, the brackets appear to just be bent.

Very similar to mine when I first got it, even the wheels. By no means a straight body though...

My A/C lines were not as exposed as those are. There may be some rust but with a decent paint job it can be a nice little car.

wow. Exactly like my gap!

I got rid of most of it by dropping my hatch motor but lowering it enough to completely close it REALLY strains the motor.

The good ol' hatch motor. Love it or hate it. I love it but hated it when the moron at the car wash kept slamming my hatch down destroying the motor.
