Hello, I recall reading somewhere that they made a small number of torch red convertibles with vinyl tops and they were all white.

Not a good top at all, the tops they used for the rest of us were Robbins Twillfast II, they are a three layered cloth that go for somewhere in the neighborhood of $500, either on that auction site or you can google Robbins convertible tops.

The top isn't the expensive part, installation is what is going to cost you

Every once in a while you can find a used one in the parts for sale sections here as well.

How many "small holes" are we talking about? Have you given any thought to repairing the top?

Small holes can be darned with needle and thread, same as a sock. Then a dab of white silicone seal (bathroom type) and you should be good for a few years. Worked a treat on one of my other cars. It was a black top so I naturally used black thread and black silicone seal.

Shouldn't be noticeable except up close.

I have some install ones too if you want to DIY or know more before you select an installer.
