[C4] Optional Top Question

[John M.]

If a C4 coupe was purchased with the optional clear targa top, did you get the solid/paint color targa top included or did you have to order both tops? Nobody seems sure...

You could get it both ways. If you ordered just the transparent top, then you didn't get the body-clored, solid top. However, you could order the dual removable top (RPO C2L) in which case you got BOTH the transparent top and the body-colored, solid top. In that case, the second top was installed in the rear compartment holding fixture upon delievery.

If you get the build sheet for your car from the Museum, it will show how your car was equipped.

In addition, the option did not start until the 1986 model year, per the Black Book.

Re: [C4] Optional Top Question

Thanks everybody - I hadn't thought of looking forward a couple years to see how it was handled. I checked my sticker and build sheet and I definitely have CC3 on my 1985.

It's kind of chastening to realize I had all the data in hand (I have the Black Book and Corvette Specs); just didn't know how to parse it.

John:
The new '84-'86 NCRS judging guide implies in one paragraph that the car came with both tops. As stated above, you can get it either way, the solid, the transparent, or both.
