Welcome to the club. FRC is Fixed Roof Coupe - like a Z06 body style.

Taurus package - I think I had one of those on my old Taurus SHO seriously no idea on that one.

they might be talking about a targa top

targa tops and FRC (fixed roof coupes) are different cars so you cannot have both options

it just means that part of the roof will remove like in this picture






in the picture below you can see what a Z06 looks like for comparison. The roof on a FRC will look the same as a Z06

In Corvette speak FRC has 3 meanings. Fixed Roof Coupe(Z06 style), Fuel Rail Covers and Flying Roof Club. Which happens when you forget to clamp in your targa top!!!!!!!!! Welcome to the club and enjoy.
