South Floridians: NEED T-TOP!

Today I booked a car hauler to have my Camaro taken from Florida to my home in Ohio. The last two days the car has been in the transmission shop having the lockup fixed. I get there to pick up the car and my transmission guys says "Well I have good news and bad news, good news is the lock up is working, bad news is there was a bit of an accident."

I look and one of the T tops is missing, the trim is all out of whack, and the metal latch is bent. I guess he was on 595 and it just blew off.

So I have 1 day to find a T top or I lose $750 on the car hauler. Anyone in South Florida have a Drivers side T top? I believe they are the factory installed Fisher T tops.

Re: South Floridians: NEED T-TOP!

check your local area craigslist

There are one or two decent f-body specific salvage yards down your way. That would be your best bet on such short notice

Re: South Floridians: NEED T-TOP!

Thanks guys, but I was able to postpone the car hauler, and I remembered that I had a set sitting in my garage in Ohio from when my brother had his 83 T/A. I had my buddy go over and grab it, then UPS it to me.

Thanks for the help though guys, I appreciate it!

Re: South Floridians: NEED T-TOP!

just a little side note - that 1 link you had posted for camaro and mustang parts... that guy has anything and everything. ive been there a couple times hunting for parts and he had it all. very good prices. if you live in the miami area and need anything you should make a point to stop by. had everything but the dual gate.
