Black C4 Convertible hardtop
Saw this on local CL, haven't looked at it and have no affiliation.
Seems like a good deal. Located in WI. Hardtop and all the mounting
hardware priced at $599. Probably negotiable.

If I drove my vette to pick up the top would we be able to transfer the hardware to my car? I already have the windshield parts installed. Would just the parts on the deck lid. Coming from Chicago area.

I'm not sure I understand. You have a convertible, correct? If you do you have the 2 holes already in the rear deck along with the metal upright supports on both sides near the top of the seat belts. Those plates are where the hardware mounts to. The front is held on by the bolts that stay in the windshield frame as they are the same front bolts as the targa top front mount bolts.

Why are you selling? Is it in good shape?

Mine is an 88 so I definitely do not have the pillar mounts. The guy that owned it before said he a hard top on it in the past. The windshield part has been converted but I do not know about the two holes in the back. I will check tomorrow morning and get back to you.

Why was your windshield converted? It has from the factory the bolts in there to screw into the hardtop. The bolts aren't used for your soft top but are never the less there from the factory. You have the 2 holes in the rear deck lid for your soft top to snap into when putting your top up. I don't know why you WOULDN'T have the pillar mounts in the back. My car has them, and I believe all convertibles were made the same. They don't look like much just some holes in the metal "beams" that have threads to accept the mounting bolts for the removable hardware.

While the option didn't start till 1989, I have been told by Corvette Shop of Tampa, the hard top will go right on and 87. Since I haven't bought a hard top I cannot verify, but I cannot fathom why the corvette shop would lie since if I bought the top I would expect it to go on my 87.
Best of luck...
