87 IrocZ Coupe Anniversary?

Hello, I’m a little new here and I have some questions. I’ve heard that you could only get the leather interior on the 87 20th anniversary cars and those were all convertibles. I just picked up a 87 full Coupé with the leather interior (camel brown) the car is also loaded, power windows, drivers seat, power mirrors, and performance options. Looking for any info, thanks!

Re: 87 IrocZ Coupe Anniversary?

Leather wasn't available on the 3rd gen Camaro until 1987. That was the 1st year. After that, you could get leather through 1992. Leather was available on more than just the convertible in 1987, so your car is probably legit.

The 1987 model was the 20th anniversary year for the Camaro, but the only cars designated as 20th Anniversary were the factory built convertibles with a "3" in the 6th place of the VIN. The factory convertible also wasn't available on the 3rd gens until 1987, making that year a good year for firsts.

Like Scott said, all the 1987 convertibles were considered anniversary cars & I believe all of them came with the commemorative map pocket on the dash.
However the leather was not convertible only. Both Scott & I had / have 87 coupes with leather. While it was not super common, not all that rare either.
