Ok a 2001 convertible is NOT a Z06.... Z06 cars only came in a fixed roof configuration.... No others were offered. Some guys have done targa top conversions if thats what you may have found???

Check the VIN; The first several characters should be 1G1YY12S; The 6th and 8th digits are for body style - Coupe - and engine type - LS6.
