Given the differences in the roofline and because each roofline had it own version, I'd say no.

Re: Question for overhead console

The hardtop console works just fine provided you cut the holes in the front of the headliner just right... It will bend enough. The holes in the rear didn't quite line up, though. Got mine from an 86 (85? don't remember and it's gone now) Berlinetta hardtop.

Re: Question for overhead console

i also used the s10 console in my '88 iroc, although i modified it to mount the faceplate for the stereo and access to a hidden radar detector where the thermometer/compass was located. my website has pics. (it's still not completed.)
