Only the 350 ones. I think a lot of 305 ones are pretty common if you are looking I wouldn't mind selling mine if I could find a 1le or a 91 vert. The cars would have to be black. Anyways the chances of finding either of those are out there so I will probably keep the one I got. If you are interested reply here.

There weren't any 350 Z28 t-top cars for those years.If you find any they were converted by the owner.

I think that you are right 91Zman but there were the c&C ones. I have personally seen one of those. Others will say that some 350 ttop cars exist but I think the consunsus is that none were made.

jasons86iroc,

I have would that would be for sale for the right price. I think you are right you don't see to many with t-tops. I know everytime I see one I have to stop and check it out. Most are hardtops, who knows why.

Everybody screams that it was an impossible combo, but you're not the first person to have it. There were guys here in the past that bought their cars new that way.

Try to find a reliable source that says they were made.Is the previous owner the original owner?Why is it that every book/website on Camaros say that there were no 91-92 factory Ttop 350 Zs.I have yet to find one with them.

Can you take a pic of your RPO code list please? I would really like to get this settled for good. I think there are some out there but everyone always says no. I would really appreciate it.

Doesn't exist. The car was not made. So my friend who has a 91 Z28 original 350 that had Ttops was original? It was another car cut and welded on. Run the vin and check rpo's because the car isn't a true 350 w/ Ttops.

ahhh a topic that comes up once every two weeks. those who know the truth there isn't any point in arguing with others, if you say you own one then that's great; just don't try to sell it as all original because it never happened

It will be in the rear compartment in the locking box area back there. Mine was right on the part you open. If it isn't there then give the vin to some people on the board and they can get the exact RPO code list.

The rpo list is either in the glove box or in the small drivers side compartment in the back.

You should have rpo codes CC1 (t-tops) and B2L (for the 350 engine).

If these 2 codes are not there, then your camaro does not have the 350/t-top combo.

If you find the rpo list, post a pic please.

Hope this helps!!!

You mean, you come on here claiming you have a stock 350 t-top car and you dont even know where your RPO codes are? So there for you havent even proven it to yourself.

This seems to be quite a touchy subject.

I think those of us who know the truth will go on defending it till the day we die. It's sad that some cannot except reality just because gm made a bad decision.

Jim85Iroc is probably recalling about 6 months ago this very conversation came up where someone claimed to have a 1991 Z/28 had CC1 and B2L/L98 and showed the SPID sticker with the RPOs.

It could have been a forged or doctored SPID, but it was in the proper sequence of RPO codes. So if was a forgery, it was well done with a lot of effort.

If I recall the car was originally owned by a family member (uncle?) that worked as an executive at GM, or something along those lines. It was specially ordered.

I have a little fuel to add to the fire. Did this CC1/B2L rule apply to Firebirds too? I had a freind that bought a new 89 Formula 350 and it had T-tops. I seem to remember someone here or on another board saying that Pontiac did offer the combo.

I don't know, but on ebay right now there's a 1-owner L98 Formula (91 or 92) with t-tops and the owner claims full originality. Oh, the car's got 9800 miles on it too.
Maybe one of us should email him and see if he can send us a picture of the SPID tag and window sticker.

I think this "rule" was supposed to be true for 91-92 firebirds only. I am pretty sure there are pre 91 Irocs, Trans Ams, Formulas, and GTA's with 350's and ttops from factory. I think it is just a 91-92 thing. I also believe some people do have 350 firebirds with ttops after 91 so who knows.

some of my favorite quotes:

I do not blame stupid people for being stupid, what i do blame them for is for not asking smart people for advice. When ever my mom asks for help, i tell her, i'm the one who knows what he's doing, not you, don't question me, just do what i tell you to. if stupid people would just realize they were stupid, and consult a smart person for advice, before they went and did something stupid and got pregnant/got someone pregant, this ****hole of a world would be a lot better. - adam corola

I check my RPO codes and I was................wrong. The car RPO is B2L and no cc1. I dont get this, if this is true and I believe AAA rpo code stands for power seats? I have power seats yet the RPO does no list this code.

pontiac did make the trans am having t-tops, that has never been an issue with the 350 w/t-top debate.

on the other hand there wasn't and never will be a factory 91-92 Z28 350 equiped with t-tops or a manual transmission.
