'89 IROC convertible G80/J65/N10

Still trying to get this posting right......I'm new here and a Corvette guy....so please be kind. I just bought an '89 IROC convertible....black/brown leather/LB9/5 speed/ G80/J65/N10....is this possible? I know these RPO stickers can be faked......but this is just an old original looking car. What say you?

Well....I tried to order an LB9/T5/N10 IROC-Z convertible in 1989 and the N10 wasn't allowed. I called everyone about it, dealers, the zone office even the Camaro/Firebird Cheif engineer at the time, John Heinricy. No dice. Heinricy told me that the convertible's extra bracing interfered with the dual cats.

Someone here is selling an N10 GTA convertible, so who knows. Let's see some pics.
