Default Two Tone Paint Question

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I don't think many were painted like this. But I was wondering if my car's two tone paint job is stock or if the guy before me did it. If it is stock, how rare is it? How do I find out? Thanks in advance.

Looks like yours is a hardtop. Google images show a bunch of Lt1 Z28 hardtops with black roofs, B pillar and mirrors. I believe being painted or not was just an option from the factory. The fact that you have a hardtop Z28 makes it more "rare" compared to all of those with T-tops. But enjoy your car regardless!




But some are also body color:

The black roof and mirrors was standard on the Z28 and SS in 1997, to get them body colored was an option . . .

Option code D82, on the door RPO sticker.

From the Camaro White Book, I see:

There were a total of 60,180 1997 Camaros built . . .

Of that there were 17,955 Coupe & T-Top Z28 and SS Camaros . .

Of that, 14,172 were ordered with the D82 body colored roofs.

So that, leaves

3,783 Z28 and SS Camaros with black roofs.

IF I am doing my math correctly and reading this book correctly . . .
