Joe -
I believe they only ever made a very small handful of these hard tops.
Apparently they got very hot very fast if the sun came out, and they
yellowed over time. I do not believe any have survived.
There are a couple advertising pictures of this top running around,
looks "cool" but that's about as far as it goes.
It's sort of like dating a Playboy bunny..... she looks really great
on the outside but she'll be completely incapable of field dressing a
deer and then cooking the venison steak in a savory black cherry
reduction.
Merry Christmas all!!!
Best,
Alan
