I do not know about 1967 Z-28 Conv'ts, but there were at least two 1968s Z-rag tops floating around.

Was to be, one of one?

I was just using a 67 Z convert. as an example since we can be pretty sure there were not built, from the factory at least.

I have in storage a '67 427/435 Corvette roadster with documentation that has been in my family since the day it was purchased new from Douglass Chevrolet. The original P-O-P has a printing error in the engine code. It reads TO525HEH and should have been T0525JEH. I've been told by several "experts" this was not uncommon.
There is a guy in Florida who sets up a swap space at a couple of Corvette events each year who has acquired the original P-O-P tooling and now reproduces them for $250. I've seen one of his and it is indistinguishable from the original (at least as far as mid-years),whereas the reproduction trim tags and order copies (build sheet) are generally noticeably different from the originals but in varying degrees depending on the reproducer. Most Bloomington/NCRS judges have agreed that the P-O-P has become one of the least reliable forms of ORIGINAL documentation.
