14stutz ◊ 2020-12-30 07:00	Note the car has a full width removable roof panel and not the two separate "T-tops" that were factory options on Camaros/Firebirds of that generation (and the 1970-81 generation as well...see "Smokey and the Bandit" for an example). I believe the option was not available during the model's first year (1982), so if the producers wanted an open air car, they had to use a custom modification.
