Default T-TOP QUESTION

Is it true that all corvettes from 68-82 were either T-tops or convertibles? I have heard different things about this and am not sure if that is true or not.

Welcome to the forum! :)

Basically that is a true statement. I guess you can get technical and say that they did make hardtops from 68 to 75 because they did make removeable hardtops for those years but when you take the tops off then they are verts! :yesnod: :D

I know that in 69 a removable hardtop was an option. Unclear about other years.

All 68-75 were either convertibles or T-tops. The convertible also had the option of a removeable hard top. All 76-82 Corvettes were t-tops, no convertible options for those years.
