Does anyone have a vette with a removable top that does not list it with the RPO codes for the car? I ask because my 85 does not list it but definitely has the removable transparent top.

Are you sure your car is an 85? There were no 85 convertibles produced. 1986 was the first year (since 1975) that they were produced.

I am sure he is asking about the coupe targa top. when the car was ordered you got one a painted top or a glass top for extra. but a the option CC3 got you both

For what it's worth, the Corvette Black book lists the transparent top as an option for 1985 (as in place of the painted top) - not that you had the option for either painted or glass top. That apparently started in 1986. The transparent top is listed in both 1985 and 1986 as a $595 option. Only in 1986 and beyond were dual tops offered (at $895).

My 12/84 shows RP0 CC3 and I found it to be for a 595$ transparent top though I have a painted top. Most likely cracked and replaced.

Most likely an aftermarket transparent top.

So, the removable targa top was standard equipment, but the removable transparent top was an option? Do I understand that correctly?
