It's a common misconception. T-Tops were available on Iroc-z's with 350's in 87, 88, & 89. After the HP was bumped up to 245 in 1990, T-tops disappeared from 350 cars.

You should check your SPID label in your console for RPO CC1. That will tell you for sure that your car originally came with T-Tops.
There are aftermarket T-tops out there. But they are mainly 90-92 cars when T-tops weren't as available as they were in 87.

Doesn't mean it didn't happen. The two C&C t-top cars I have seen in person both were t-top available cars. Mine is a 88 Trans Am 305 5-speed and the other was a 91/92 RS w/ a 305 TBI motor.

You're right... There are a LOT of 87-89 350 equipped T-top cars around...
