87 r/s

in May of 1987 i bought my 16 yr old an 87 R/S . i was told by the dealer at that time that it was a special edition and they only came in red and a few white all the reds were sold in Texas and Calf. the whites were sold in Florida i asked him what was so special about them and he said that they were the first R/S camaro's
since the 70's and they had Blue Jean seat covers (which it does)
and they were built to test the market for the planed 88 R/S .i didn't put much stock in what the salesman told me i bought the car because it looked just kike a iroc but with a v-6 .as i remember i paid like 15000.00 for it (salesman was good talker) 15 years later i just bought my married 31 yr old a new honda and he let me have his old camaro (which i always whished was mine) so i'm going to restore it back to new condition. now to my questions . where will i ever find those seat covers? and when i go to the local chevy dealer to get parts and tell them it's an 87 R/S they tell me that chevy never made an 87 R/S just plain coupes , z's , and iroc so do i just tell them that it's an 88 and will all the body parts be the same . Thanks in advance from an old man with a not so new toy

The body parts will be the same, however, I'm not so suer of the seat covers. I'm not suer I've seen that interior. All major body parts from 82-92 are the same.
