FYI 68-75 should fit....
Later ones have a stud in center under window that is easy to remove if you do not want to drill hole in deck lid
Is your car an orig hardtop car?
If you will will need to drill holes in side of rear deck lid for side bolts....
I just went thru all this 6 months ago for my 74
You should be able to find a top just be patient

No, I believe my car isn't a factory hardtop. The only holes in the deck lid is for rag top. I didn't know that it needed additional holes. I'll try to be patient. Thanks for the heads up.

It may be worth a look, just wouldn't bid too high as you need to paint and add chrome tips for the '69.

1968-1975 convertible decklids had a hole in the center if the car was ordered with a factory hardtop which explains why some hardtops have the center stud that can be easily removed.
Why anyone would want a hardtop is beyond me. Since owning my 1970 since 2004 I had the hardtop on the car once----when I drove it home after buying the car. It has been sitting in my garage since then. But it's painted the same as the car so it goes with the car if I ever sell it.

I like hard tops because it keeps the interior quiter and I feel it's safer left out in parking lots. I can't swear to it but when I had my hardtop it felt the ac felt cooler. I just maybe getting hotter out here in Florida.
