Post some pics and we may be able to help. If the VIN confirms the car was manufactured as a Z06, a prior owner went to the trouble and modified it into a convertible.

Look at the VIN Number.

Here is an example VIN from a 2004 Z06.
If it has an "S" in the VIN then its a true Z06.

1G1YY12S345116648


BTW.... what color is it. A friend of mine cut the top off his 2004 Machine Silver Z06. It was an amazing job. Looked totally factory. He sold the car 3-4 yrs ago though.

This was his car before he sold it....

Very nice. In my opinion, the best of both, a Z for fun and a 'vert for sun.

Just to cross it off the list, it's not an automatic, is it?
Also, does it have 243 heads or 241?
