How rare is 88 Iroc Convertable?

I might be buying a 88 Iroc Convertable and am wondering how much were made. The seller told me there were only 800 - 1000 made in the US. Is that acurate?

24,050 Iroc convertabels were made? I thought that was how much total irocs were made. It's not going to affect my purchase, I was just wondering if this guy was lying or not.

There were 3,761 IROC convertibles built in 1988 versus 24,050 Iroc coupes.. The total number of camaros they made was 96,275. Hope this helps.

I figured it wasn't as rare as the seller was telling me. It did have a 305 TPI and a 5-speed though so that probably made it more rare. I didn't think GM kept track of the options though. Dosn't matter really. My mechanic didn't give a good review. He said that it might need a new transmission but I'm still thinking about getting.

My bad. 3761 is the right number. I copied the wrong number over. Sorry!
