Phil,
Boy I'm going to get flamed for this, but If I waned a Surry top, I'd
got a Fiat X19 or the Porsche 914. I think the 72 or 73 corvettes had
something similar; it's just I like the whole top down, not half.
At the end of the day, we are really talking "options" on our 6's. It's
just I like the steel hardtop look, or the top down roadster look. Not a
combination. And again, it's my Humble Opinion.
Gene,

Goofy? Not likely. I have a Perfect Plastics hardtop on my '71. It's
the round shape of a surrey top without the removable panel. Every
time I wear that top to British Invasion in Vermont, I come home with
a 1st-in-class trophy. It changes the whole look of the car. I can't
tell you how many times I've had to tell people that it's the correct
top for the car, since the steel hardtop was not available before '73.
