Would i do it,no imo the hard top cars are more desired, sell it and buy a ttop car,it is kinda a rare car,and is a really cool factor about the car,i think making it a t top totally kills it,my car was 1 of 3 aw ss with grey n red int,i dont think it makes it more valuable but it is a cool part about the car,and wanna keep that, you do as you wish but i truly feel way down the road the hardtops will be a collector,way,way down the road lol

So what if its "1 of 2". Its not like an SS is "rare". Its not a Ferrari after all. Do what you want and make the car your own. Besides, your artic white interior is technically rare and you already went and put racing seats in so....

1 of 1.... Its an SS, the next person who buys it isnt going to care how many other cars were built 14 years ago in the same color, interior and roof option. Its an SS, not one of 7 Carol Shelby Daytona Coups ever made! Besides, SS's in my opinion should have all been T-Top M6's anyway. Ford dosnt offer the cobra in anything but a 6 speed because its a sports car, nothing sporty about an automatic (IMO)

Well let's see t tops are cool. I rolled my 99 z28 with t tops . The pin for the lach fucked up the side of my head. Next to my temple. Still going got brains and ***** went and brought another t top car. Try 124 stitches in my head. Every one drive save. Every body makes mistakes. Ls1 car too. , ay what happens happens. Bitchs love t tops quote by a girl. I love the convertible lmfaoo. Thanks fellas.

If you want to keep the car and add t tops then do it. You could also just sell it and buy a t top car. I don't think the rarity of hardtop white leather is ever going to be super desirable or something.

I wouldn't do it. I actually like my hardtop. If you want to feel the wind in your hair, buy a used Jeep or vert.

This. The "it's one of 2, for this year, with these specific options" never means anything. To be rare it has to be 1 of so many model or trim...when you have to break out the options list to make it look rare...it isn't.

Even if that wasn't the case, you've modified it, so any collectibility is pretty much out the window.

I do like taking the t-tops every now, so I could see why you'd want to go that route. But appearance-wise, hardtops are leaps and bounds better than t-top cars. they look a LOT cleaner without all of the extra trimming and nonsense you get with the t-tops... wish they designed them better..
