hardtop

Hello, My 68 is a hardtop only car. I live in south florida, and NEVER drive it with the roof on. Any reason to put it back on? I have a garage and a car cover. Let me know what you think. Thank You

Thank you mike I don't drive with the hardtop on.My question was one of storage. is there a problem with never installing the roof such as leaving the interior open in a garage? Thank you Rick

Not that I am aware of. Do critters get in the garage?

I don't have a hard top but the soft top on my 69 has been up probably two or three times since mid 2005. it stays inside if it's raining. Shouldnt hurt anything.

Yes it sure does!!!!!

Interesting that this is a hard top only car.

Is that a separate RPO code from the factory to identify that is was a hard top ONLY? I can't imagine a ton were ordered like that?

Yup the red car did get my attention but when I saw Clewiston that really got my attention. Good times and memories.
