These things seem to be hard to find. It took me a few months to find a perfect one. I came across 2 that had been damaged slightly, so be careful when buying a used one. I finally found a new condition Ruby Red top, even though I was looking for a Torch Red top. So had to have it painted. Came out PERFECT! Only found 1 place on internet selling them and they were $799.99 w/o shipping and painting, can't remember the site.
I bought mine at Just Corvettes out of St. Charles Mo. 636-947-6060 ask for Dan, or www.justcorvettes.com

Whilst looking for "my" C4, I figured I could swap a good clear top for the solid I'd rather have so I havn't been too concerned if a prospective car had a clear top as long as it was in real nice shape. Is that a rational opinion?
