Default Official F-Body Targa Top Thread... Post pics in here!

Ok, so I got tired of searching and seeing what pics were out there... I copied all the pics I could find of REAL (not photoshopped) F-Body Targa Tops and will post them in here.

Please feel free to add any pictures or updated information to this thread. THIS IS NOT A HOW TO TARGA TOP YOUR CAR THREAD OR WHY YOU SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T TARGA TOP YOUR CAR THREAD. I just want to collect all the pics we can in here...

Here goes...

Chris' (Whistler) car:















XxXTransAmXxX's car:









Troy Clapp's (IROC2000LT1):









Third-Gens:






So, anyone got any other pics?

I've seen the conversions before.. What I really want to see what these guys are doing for their tops. Very interested to see how they work that out.

Here is what I've found:

The mystery Camaro you posted is Troy Clapp's (IROC2000LT1).
Here's his CarDomain.

Here is another mystery car:


And then I have two 3rd Gens ...

This one:
Link to a for sale thread.

This car was supposed to also be a 'dealer option'.


If you want more information I know there is a guy who used C4 parts to convert his 3rd Gen who's part of the Triad F-body Club.
It was very clean install, I just can't find the pictures.

Pocket over on Fbody.com also has some information on 3rd Gen conversions.
Shoot him an e-mail he should be able to help you out.

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, ANYONE WHO TARGA TOPS THEIR CAR AND TAKES A PICTURE WITH THE TOP OFF MUST HAVE THE TOP STANDING AGAINST THE CAR SO WE CAN SEE THE DAMN THING
