What's he talking about??? I have seen more than a few '87 350s with t-tops. Does he mean all the other ones have the Lexan tops?

thats a good question..it makes it seem like hes saying the 350 with t-tops is too much strain on the chassis and body?!?!?

This guy has absolutely no clue how common his car is. The statement he makes about his car having an "overhead computer" convinces me of this.. He's talking about the reminder spools that are made of plastic! Either he's been told he owns a rare car and didn't research it OR he's trying to pull a fast one. Did you notice he has ZERO bids? I'm glad no one has fallen for his bull.

BTW, I also owned a "rare" 1987 350 IROC-Z with t-tops, hehe. Maybe I shouldn't have sold it for my very common 1987 Z28 convertible....

I doubt this guy has a clue what he is talking about. Just like the f-body club meeting today around here it was my first time and a guy had an iroc convertible. He put the 91+ hood on it with the power blisters on it and it had a badge with 5.7 on it he said it must have come from factory like that and I just said NO IT DIDN'T.
