John,
This guy swears that a handful of cars were made/converted by the factory... oddly, it does look like a factory job, but the car also has an antenna frenched into the passenger rear quarter which is definately not original... I figured anyone who could french an antenna could potentially chop the top in this fashion.
The windshield header is a like convertible frame windshield header, and the top does clamp to the header just like a convertible would. The cut is made right at the b-piller where the end of the small rear quarter windows curve upwards... just like a Corvette coupe with T-tops looks, or a mid-year Viper. There are rubber seals under the top, like on T-tops. The entire roof section removes, leaving the b-piller like a "roll bar", just like on a C-3 Corvette if the entire top removed, without the t-top bar.
It actually looks extremely cool, and the car has a factory-style, if not original rear wing. It's definately a 442; can you determine any info from the VIN? I can post it if you can; maybe engine option, etc? ~Thanks, Tim
