If they used an original top, then it's as simple as getting replacement cover of the same vintage as the top that was used. If it's one of those funky kustom tops, you're on your own.

My targa was converted to a cab and it just uses the standard top for 1983-up.

The early ones are manual, while the later ones are electric....I think they also have some kind of gutter on the later ones....

Try World Upholstery, they are on the web and located in Ventura County.

You can put any top on it that you want.

'83-'85 Big winbow

'86-'94 small window

Or '95-'98 really small winow one-piece

Ideally, you should install the correct canvas for the year of top frame that you have.
