ITS GETTING WARM, LETS SEE THOSE O.T. CONVERTIBLES

Well HELL ive loved these all my life and had chevy power in ALL of em...fk lucas!!!
5.7 LS1/4L65E.... a low mile 02 Z28 under the bonnet....big word from across the pond on that little wet island....LOL

 

I really like the white seats, blue paint and the roadrunner stripe running out of the side vent on the quarter panel. That is a hot rag top! Air grabber scoop...perfection.

 

Agreed. Perfect combo.

 

I failed to get the picture as my phone was dead, but I stopped and chatted with the owner of a Plum Crazy Hemi Cuda rag top yesterday at an event here in town. Nice ride, pistol grip, black guts, rally wheels, nicely detailed. I told him I assumed it was a "tribute car" and he confirmed and asked how I knew. I explained that he looked and sounded like an intelligent man and thus smart enough not to drive a million-dollar car on the street. We laughed. I saw one cross the block at BJ one year and it brought an excess of the 7 figure mark.

His Mopar was sitting next to a 69 Camaro rag top SS car. I was telling him of my preferences of the Mopar on how it fit together and looked sans roof. He said that was his car as well and that he agreed. He also said the purple drop top rode a lot nicer. I have never driven one so I will have to take his word for it.

Long live the rag top!

 

1968 Cutlass S here's a couple shots of one of my convertible's. Joe

 

The Chryslers rode better because of the longer wheel base. But the GM cars handle better and the seats don’t hurt my back.

 

Very not bad Joe!

 

I can't answer to that as I have never driven a Mopar ragtop. I drove a 69 Charger once and wasn't overly impressed on the cornering. But I will give them credit for a much bigger back seat

 

That's one rare fish right there. Joe

 

Daaaaaamn!

 

The top on this Plum Crazy RT looks almost fake, it fits so tight! Looks almost like a vinyl roof. Thing of beauty

 

This one is for sale for 32,500......pm me

 

I bought this a week after my 21st birthday, 2001. Still working out bugs that are probably 21 year old me's fault.

 

What's not to like about the prancing stallion? Engine's at the wrong end on that one though

Love the Goat! I actually went looking for a 69 GTO rag top 30 years and couldn't find one so I bought the Olds. I don't regret it...often. Well now I am because you brought it up, thanks for that.

 

Last night was a little street show not far from home so Mrs. BB and I grabbed some keys and went top less. Summer is fleeting, soak up these waning days of dryness.

 

I picked up my 1968 442 hard top the day after my 19th Birthday. Hard to believe that was almost a half century ago! Poor car has endured the blunt of my stupidity in my youth the wanting to drag race and now it's just my total enjoyment to get in and just drive. Joe

 

The little street cruise I attended last night had maybe 50 cars but oddly the number of Oldsmobiles dominated the field!

 

I've owned this one since I was 16.

 

Sano!
