Never heard of or seen a "Y88" camaro... not that that means much, maybe they are out there but nothing shows up searching the web for them & some sources actually state that Y88 was not available for camaros, it was only a Pontiac TA option. Got any links to a real Y88 camaro? There were obviously gold color camaros like the pic above but doesnt show the T tops. Anyone got a link or pic or source to show a camaro with gold T tops?

"(Y88) available for the Pontiac Trans Am. This package, known as the Special Gold Edition, included a Solar Gold exterior color, gold-colored grille and hood bird, and gold-colored wheels. It was not offered on the Chevrolet Camaro.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Y88 Package: This was a special appearance package for the 1978 Pontiac Trans Am, giving it a distinctive gold theme.
Gold Exterior: The Y88 package included a Solar Gold exterior paint color.
Gold Accents: The package also featured a gold-colored Trans Am hood bird decal, gold-colored grille, and gold-colored wheels (typically snowflake-style).
Not a Camaro Option: The Y88 package was exclusive to the Pontiac Trans Am and was not available on the Chevrolet Camaro.
W72 Engine Option: The Y88 package could be paired with the W72 Pontiac 400 engine, a performance option for the Trans Am.
T-Tops: Many Y88 Trans Ams also came with T-Tops. "
