Windjammer?

http://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette-4-163-1391.html

Anybody ever try the Windjammer on their fast back C3? Do they work good at 70mph?

Who wouldn't want the wind in their hair with the tops off?????

You have to have all that wind noise so that you NEED to crank up the volume when ZZ-Top is jammin'...

I had one on the '78 I owned...it worked well. I'm 6'3" and the top of my head would be above the roof level with the T-tops out and the Windjammer let me wear a ball cap while driving without it being pulled off into the wind.

It's part of the corvette experience.....plus I'm not a fan of the way it looks.

Yes I have a Windjammer. Its effect is not really noticeable in the city but on the highway it is a real blessing in keeping down wind turbulence. It comes off in two minutes via Allen screws if the top has to go up or the t-tops go on.
