We have the Caravaggio. Here are a few pics of ours. http://c5.techbottle.com/hardtop/hardtop.htm

Plus Smoothline offers the conversion. http://www.smoothline.com/

In addition a couple of Forum members custom designed their own.

the one i saw was a power hardtop that folded into the trunk... pretty cool stuff... i'm inclined to think it's totally custom.

At one of the Forum cruise-ins, There was a guy from Florida demonstrating a "fold-up" automatic hard top. Sorry, can't remember any names, but it looked to be a little too complicated for my tastes.

There is a Z06 on eBay with a custom power folding top. It is cool, but looks cheesy up, in my opinion.
