Valuable now or not... down the road no one knows what is possible. If I had a 1 of 2 of anything, hell even a Ford escort, I wouldn't be "chopping nuttin". But you heard it best from Wrench7777 "B****es love t tops". Now thats a game changer!

Rare doesn't mean valuable.

Best point of the thread.
My first was a hard top and the last 3 have been t top. I won't go back to hard top unless its going to be a full race build. But just because the majority of responses seem to think you should t top it doesn't mean down the road someone won't have a hard on for a 1 of 1 optioned car. You just never know and you can't worry about or bank on that happening.

yeah i know how selection options works for rarity.. thts why i looked up an rpo search with just key points...
there were about 36 true SS cars ever with a white interior from the factory in 98. of those 36 only 2 were silver one T top auto the other a hardtop M6 (mine)
in all 5 years of production i think there were only around 15 silver SS cars with a factory arctic white interior. thats the only reason i didnt ditch my interior and why my racing seats are white leather so that i keep at least a little bit of its originality.. i have the original white fronts in storage in case ill ever need them.

both mine are T's, and i love em. make sure its done correctly and looks factory, and u will be happy with it. u will want subframe conn's tho, keep em from squeaking/rattlling, even the best stock ones get that way after a while.

I have t-tops in my 99 Formula WS6, I use them and love them, aside having to re-glue and soon replace my headliner. I also have made the bad decision of cutting into my baby before, ('05 vette rims) and regretted it. The hard top cars are a little stronger structurally so that's at least two reasons to leave the car as is.
