I was playing around on eBay today and found these... I'm sorry if it's a dupe, but I've never seen them and think it's a great idea!
I wonder how much that costs...

The top does take up a lot of the trunk space - saw the vendor displaying these at Bowling Green several years ago.

Looks like a novel idea! I always wanted to see a retractable hardtop on a Vette - kinda like the SLK/SL Benzes. They did it on the G6, GM should try it on the Vette. After all, the XLR has it already and their (Chevy's) truck, the SSR! Why they did this to a truck and not a sportscar is beyond me. Offer it as an option like what Mitsubishi did with the 3000GT Spyder, Im sure it will be a hit.

I emailed them today and the price for the conversion is now $14,500! They also said they are currently on hold for doing them, and to check back in a couple of months?
If I had that kind of money to spend, I would just get a C6 convertible...
