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.

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
