I passed this on to a friend, I know he has one. Located in Knoxville Tn.
He'll be contacting you shortly. We took one off a car two weeks ago, it's in great shape. If you don't hear from him give him a call. 865-604-0498, John Llewellyn.

Yes, I helped remove it in the last two weeks. It is in great shape, the rear window is sealed well (a common problem is the seal breaking). There are no tears or wear spots that I noticed. It came off a garage kept 2001.

John has some pictures of it on a car. he should be contacting you.

In this case , I think, he's referring to any good black C-5 Vert top off a salvaged car.
