20th anniversary

Why wasn't there a 20th anniversary Camaro. I own a 87 iroc so that was 20 years from the begin but no 20th anniversary option?

I think the 1987 convertables were considered anniversary editions. I believe they had a "20th anniversary" emblem on the dash.

Only the 1987 convertibles received the "20th Anniversary Commemorative Edition" label which included a map pocket with this designation. This is the only third generation Camaro to get a map pocket.

Just the fact that only 1,007 convertibles were produced out of a total of 137,760 Camaros in 1987 makes it rare; then add the fact that these were the "unknown" anniversary Camaros makes it that much rarer and will be (if not already) highly collectible.

Here's mine:
