Let me just say that that is NOT my car. I'm just bored, so...
The VIN # listed is screwed up. It's listed as 1G1YY1Z5X25116403. In bold and underlined, I indicated what is wrong.
Use this to decode the VIN.
The 7th position represents the restraint codes, which should be a number from 1 to 7. A Corvette's code should be a "2". Easy to mistake a "2" for a "Z", I suppose.
The 8th position is the engine code, and should be an "S". And like the previous position, and "S" was mistaken for a "5".
If you correct the 2 letters, you end up with the VIN 1G1YY12SX25116403, which is apparently a legit VIN for a 2002 Z06.
No comment on the "factory installed T-top".

Caravaggio does the conversion using all GM parts, that's what it probably is. Seller refers to it as a t-top, which we all know is incorrect also. Another wrong fact is that Z06 never had factory CD changer or did it just say CD player?
