Putting Z-28 emblems on a Camaro convertible is not a lot different than putting them on a Camaro coupe....   If they add a strong 302 engine, the suspension, brakes, Munciie etc, at least they will handle and drive like a Z28..  (but of course most don't)...  350 autos with drum brakes also get lots of Z28 emblems...  (yes, that's a pet peeve of mine).  :)

Of course, that car *might* have been a true Z28 with the top converted to a convertible, done at the same time the 400 CI/TH400 was installed..... and they jsut didn't wanna go to the trouble of removing those pesky Z28 emblems??  .....    :)

I beg to differ since they only built 1 Z/28 convertible.
