I have been putting serious thought into this. I have the car I posted in the pic below and I think making it a targa top would really set it apart. I have two local shops that will do it and they are both extremely good at what they do. I am going in for a price quote here within the next 7-10 days and I will let you guys know what I find out. /crossfingers

wow, beautiful car man. Let us know what the shops say as far as cost. I'm still in the market to eventually do this. I got sidetracked boosting my car, then buying a house, and now getting married....haha...but eventually the money will turn back to the Z!!!

What is soo wrong with a 'vert Z?

I like the photoshopped pic too but the idea of water leaks or noise
would keep me from doing it.

Hell yeah i am interested in doing a targa to mine. I figure i'm gonna have a roll cage soon anyway, and other chassis support items. Playing around with paint, here's my chop. Not perfect, but i love the look.

Agreed. Nice looking mod for show. But, I'd have to PULSAR the rear hatch too.

yeah, it's real. I've seen this car in person in Denver. It's usually parked out in front of the 6th street shops during good weather.

I wanted to have sex with it. Now I'm no longer in Denver, though
