The Original was Convertible only for a reason True Sports Car American Made
To me real Sports Cars are Rag Tops and the C6 Grand Sport and 427 verts are the best of the best

No, those are brand new seat skins from Interior Innovations that are now a one of a kind as they no longer do any GM products. I did a full interior overhaul after I bought this carl

Very few American two seat convertibles have ever been produced and the Corvette certainly tops the list.

Add to this the Z51 package with a manual transmission like mine has, and you have a truly rare version of the Corvette roadster.

Theres very few, if any verts (of any make or model) that look better with the top up as they do when down. The C-6 is especially susceptible to this. While it looks OK with the top up.....it is definitely an eye popper when the tops down. And as far as vert VS coupe. This is of course subjective with bias usually getting in the way, but the coupe and its lines just has the vert beat by a very slight margin in looks, even with the verts top down. No bias here as I own a vert.....
