Hard top or Convertible?
If I bought a convertible vette, would I still be able to have a hard top? I've seen some cars with "Auxiliary Hard tops." Would I be able to purchase something like that from some place?

Re: Hard top or Convertible? (urtoslo)
Sure, you can still buy a hardtop for your convertible. Makes it look like a Z06... They run about $1000.
But keep in mind that it isn't something you can take off or put on in a snap. It requires 14 bolts and 2 brackets to bolt it on. Once it is bolted on, it transforms the car into a quiet, rigid car. The top adds a ton of stiffness to the chasis.

Just be sure you have a place to store it when it's not on the car. I love my hardtop when it's on, but it takes up most of the guest bedroom right now!

If I could go back some years....I would certainly buy a convert......They are just so cool :cool: :cool: :cool: ....I had a '69 with both tops....and loved the hardtop on....
Such is life......
Now I'm stuck with a lowly '84.......
I will make the best of it....but new buyers beware.....get what you really want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good Luck

Tom94, I've probably said it before, but I think your 94 Triple Black is the sharpest I've ever seen... :cool: :cool: :cool:
