Alot of vendors such as corvette central and others on here sell them, they are pricey though. you might also try the parts for sale section also.

I bought a nice used one from www.melroset-tops.com last winter for $450.00 plus shipping. I paid around the same for the paint job, so I have about $1,000. in the top.

The C4 tops were not model year specific. Any top will fit, although the years prior to 1989 will require changing the front mounting hardware. Just make sure it's in good condition. You might get lucky and find one in the same color as your car but if you can't go for condition over color. These tops are easier to paint than to repair.

Once you find a top here's some good information on getting it to fit:
