2ManyZs Posted February 17, 2003 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2003 Been a while since I saw a Z with a vinyl roof. Too bad it hadn't stayed that way a lot longer.....:sick: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2404131359&category=6187 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/4737-vinyl-roof-anyone/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmack Posted February 17, 2003 Share #2 Posted February 17, 2003 There is a lady that belongs to our club (Z-Sport) here in San Antonio. She shows up every once in a while to a car show and brings her '70 240. It's red w/ a white vinyl top. And she's the original owner. I'm not to keen on the vinyl tops myself. Just really a moisture trap if you ask me.I'm trying to find a pic of this lady's car but I can't get one right now.

Arizona240z Posted February 17, 2003 Share #3 Posted February 17, 2003 It's a 71, white with Black vynil top.. I love that look. It's been sitting in a garage for the last 13 years....... Can't wait until I can get my greedy little hands on it. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/4737-vinyl-roof-anyone/#findComment-26982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 17, 2003 Share #4 Posted February 17, 2003 The vinyl top is actually in your microfiche. Take a look somewhere in the end of the package. I've never seen one of these. Was this a stock item? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/4737-vinyl-roof-anyone/#findComment-26986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
carguyinok Posted February 17, 2003 Share #5 Posted February 17, 2003 Thats the first one I have seen. On the side of strange looking at first. I like the look from the side but from the back of it :sick: Sorry.

2ManyZs Posted February 17, 2003 Author Share #6 Posted February 17, 2003 I've seen a couple with a vinyl roof. I think most people realized it just didn't fit the car and was nothing more than a fad that ate up cars in the long run. They truly are nothing more than a moisture trap....:tapemouth Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/4737-vinyl-roof-anyone/#findComment-26990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mperdue Posted February 18, 2003 Share #7 Posted February 18, 2003 Now a topless with those curves would be something (from the side anyway)! That's what I thought it was at first. Oh well...Michael Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/4737-vinyl-roof-anyone/#findComment-27007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
beandip Posted February 18, 2003 Share #8 Posted February 18, 2003 I have a row of holes on a simi circle just ahead of the rear hatch. The only thing I can think of is that it must have been a vinyl top. It must have had a chrome strip on the leading edge , so the major part of the top was paint and the rest covered. That is what it seems . Glad to have the repair done and am going to paint soon I hope. :classic: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/4737-vinyl-roof-anyone/#findComment-27073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasz Posted February 18, 2003 Share #9 Posted February 18, 2003 I saw this the other day and thought to myself...'why in the world would anyone want to do that to a perfectly good Z, it just looks like crap'.:sick: Just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions...

2ManyZs Posted February 18, 2003 Author Share #11 Posted February 18, 2003 I think it may be Mperdue after spending too much time at the all-you-can-eat burrito buffet...

240znz Posted February 19, 2003 Share #12 Posted February 19, 2003 I quite like the look of the Vinyl top. But it must be PITA when it comes to keeping it clean. We have some birds here that drop what seems to be 500 pounders so you'd have to keep the cleaners handy. Saying that, if it is in a garage most of the time then it should be in good nick. But moisture will get in if it is not well maintained.I still dream of my 1st Zed...one day, one day.Ho hum.
