Chevrolet did not produce a convertible in 1985, so it would be interesting how you came up with one. Either someone chopped off the top and made it a convertible or someone switched vin tags. What is your VIN? Should tell us year and body style.

You better hope someone switched tags (which aint good), or someone chopped it and used later GM hardware or finding vert related parts will be difficult as you will not know what was used.

Default 85 convert

Could be like alot of CL adds: (Fill in the year) convertible. Absolutely, positively a coupe with the roof panels removed. I suppose if they call it a convertible someone might buy it at an inflated price.
I also saw one that was supposed to be a 85 with a 86 convertible rear clip on it, but doubt that's this one.
