Based on these 3 pictures I say topless would be the best look.

My 69 came from the factory with a white top, (red with black interior). The PO put a black top on it. I just replaced it (3rd top in almost 50 years) with another black top.

My advice, for what it is worth: Light colored tops tend to show (for lack of a better word) folding frame shadow stains. I had a tan top on my C6 and no matter what I put on these shadow stains, they would not go away. Will no longer get anything other than a black top, but that is just me.

white makes the red POP. It gives it contrast and depth, black tends to knock down darker red

I'd go with white. It will be cooler in summer; and many times it will be down. I just think white over red is classy!
