Default COPO or Supercar Convertible

I am new here, but I am an avid 69 camaro convertible collector. I have searched for some time trying to find out if the supercar dealers ever did a convertible for 69. I apparently don't know where to look, or it didn't happen? If someone can point me in the right direction, where I could find info on this topic if available I would be grateful.
Thankyou In Advance
Robert H.

Factory L89 was the most hp you could get. I think they have found 3 or 5 of L89 convertibles.

I know the factory was 375hp. But what about Yenko, Nickey, Baldwin etc? Is there any convertible info from them? I would think they would have done a few convertibles maybe more..?

None of the super car builders did any convertibles that I have heard about. The lack of the roof for stiffness combined with the 100 lbs of cocktail shakers probably turned the off

There was suppose to be a Motion 69 Camaro Convertible in AZ. I never heard if the car was real or not but the guy was claiming it was last year.

Are u referring to the supposed Nickey Camaro? This is from the "Good Guys" show last fall here in the valley. Hey, look at the poster, it's a one-of-one!
