Nope. GM only builds 'em as Fixed Roof Coupes (aka, hardtops).
Of course, some of us aren't satisfied with what the General offers. :lol:

satyr: FRC only - don't get out much, do you?
Bob - beautiful car.
Editorial opinion: false Z06 badges are, well... Rice.

Although Caravaggio does offer a removable roof conversion. It keeps the FRC style, just cuts out a removable panel.
Just goes to show that will a little imagination and money (or a SawsAll) you can have pretty much whatever you want. :lol:

I haven't seen any false Z06 badges in this thread. I assure you that my convertible is a genuine Z06. Want me to send you a photo of the VIN??? Sheesh. :rolleyes:

Ditto. Mine's real too. http://home.earthlink.net/~jonstr/z06/zo6convert.htm

BobC, Z06Vert - [eat_crow] Apologies for not being just a little more observant, and a little too quick on the "judgement" trigger.[/eat_crow]
I don't think it will be necessary to send any VIN's my way... :cheers:

Steve -- No worries. There *are* a lot of fakes running around out there so your suspicion is justified. Just so happens that Jon's and mine are real.
Dennis -- Yep, they didn't come from the factory that way. Just like the General doesn't put CNC heads and bigger cams in there, but that doesn't mean WE can't, right? :D I'd be interested to know which parts you've selected and why. I'll have those decisions to make soon myself.

It is removable
All you have to do is to drive under a parked semi at about 120 mph. The top, including windshield, will be removed and you will get the feeling of an early model roadster. It is recommended that you wear a full face shield crash helmet and 5 point harness during this manuever. Be sure to duck just before striking the trailer. jerboa :)

Re: It is removable (FRC Tom)
Well- thought I'd ask, saw an advrtisement for a Z06 with "glass top". Since my understanding was that all 2001 Hard Tops are Z06's. Didn't know if there was a coupe-type top special order or something...
