Default Targa Top

I've come into possession of a transparent Targa Top. Not being a C-4 expert I'm not sure what year/design it is from. Hopefully these photos of the latches and top will help identify. Thanks

The logo on the sticker is certainly C4 era, but that top is not. C4's use bolts, not latches. That is 100% a C5 top.

My guess is it was an early, first year run for the spare C5 tops, and GM had some left over C4 wraps or stickers, and just used them up.
