I have a 67 Firebird convertible stocker. Currently has an IHRA crate motor. When I was building it a few years ago, I ask this. I built it to be legal for both I and NHRA.
My car has a manual top. The top has all hardware in place to go down, however the rear boot area has sheet metal over it to seal from trunk, so top cant go down. I have a fuel cell, so had to seal it off.
I have been through IHRA tech several times at div. races in stock, and no problems. They check the cage and belts, and actually looked to make sure the top latches were in good shape, but never ask about putting top down.

Good luck with it.
