Try searching for a company in PA called "Smoothline". They manufacture hard tops and look pretty good price is aprox. $2,800.

I have made a couple myself from donor FRC & vert parts. I built this one piece design in my sig pic. I sold it over the winter to "Black Majic"and built a new one just like it but I incorporated a removable targa from a coupe in the new one. I need to update my sig pics with it. I don't do it commercially or anything, just fun to play around with over the winter. I'll be at Carlisle later this month in the swap meet area. I'm going to sell this one and build another this winter. :seeya

XportC5,

Did you have your car and top at Corvette Expo in Knoxville last year?

There was a Vette that looked just like yours.

The top everyone wanted, but never went into production. But I can not complain, I am very happy with the Caravaggio top!
