Fully removable hardtops
I just bought my first Vette. An 88 dark red hard top convertable. Are there many hardtop converts out there, i havent seen many. The car only has 25k miles and was stored most of its life. Should it have a softtop under the hard top?

Actually, its called a Targa top. Some, like mine, have a plexiglass type top that you can see through. Others have a solid top. Both are removeable and store in the back compartment.

RE: Fully removable hardtops
Corvette Black Book shows option CC2 auxiliary hardtop available on 89-96 models. If yours is an 88 and has one, you have a one of a kind or somebody modified it after market. I saw an 84 that someone made into a convertible for sale up here in Wisconsin. And if it is an auxiliary top, there should be a soft top under there. The way you can tell right away is if it has a hatchback release. If yes, you don't have a convertible and I have a bridge in Brooklyn I will sell you. A picture would be helpful for clarification.

No, I'm not going for one like it - I favor the 'real' targa's...
