C5 Body Types

I was looking at the Wiki site and saw this:

2-door coupé
(1997–2004)
2-door convertible
(1998–2004)
2-door hardtop
(1999–2000)

Is this correct? I thought the hardtop was built through the end of the run to '04?

Thanks.

The FRC (fixed roof coupe or hardtop) was made from '99-04. From '01-04, it was the Z06 model.

Thanks, that's what I thought.
I think the wiki site is info provided by the general public so has errors like that. Thanks!

Sure they were an option......B84. They started off at $75, and then went to $150.

And...................contrary to the results of popular forum polls which tend to indicate that more people dislike them than like them.........when new, a larger majority of buyers ordered them, than didn't......peaking in 2003 with a whopping 63% opting for them, and 37% not

1997: 55%
1998: 54.9%
1999: 58%
2000: 56%
2001: 57%
2002: 60%
2003: 63%
2004: 61%
