At a pontiac show, their was a 91 GTA targa top. The guy said it was done many years ago by a company, before he had it. Thats the first firebird targa I've seen.

 

Please tell me you got pics

 

"Please tell me you got pics " *** I hope so!

 

I hope you got some good pics Since i'm doing a conversion my self i'd like to see others work as well. Might give me a few ideas.

 

Whats a targa top???

 

A targa top is like T-tops, but without the Tbar in the middle. The corvette coupes, for example, are targas.
Edit: The 50th on the top is a targa, there's a single piece that you can put on like T-tops to cover it

 

:lala: simply beautiful

 

Deff. hope you toko pic's and please done say No I didnt have a cam. cuz who goes to a show with no cam.

on a side note. Im leavin for FLA on saterday. when I get back I expect to crack down and try and get my top done..

 

*sound of crickets*

 

lol sorry I wasn't able to get any pics. My dad had a camera but he didn't get any shots of it. Maybe next year.

 

i never thought about it until right now, what does the t in t-tops stand for????

 

Always thought it came from the shape that the top of the windshield and the T-top bar make, like the letter T. Not sure that is right though, maybe the T really stands for something else.

 

I've always known it to be that with the tops removed, it looks like the letter "T" but my best friend insists it looks more like an "I", which I suppose it does. A "T" would having nothing on the bottom.

 

Most men will call them Titty Tops because you can look up at the reflection and see boobies no offense to all the women users.

I say they are Two Tops or Twin tops.
Depending on how you look at the car its either an I or H top.

 

lol man, i thought the thing about how it looks like a t also but your right about the I or H, T is a stretch. somebody has to know??? someone came up with the name

 

You sound like parents at christmas time

Oh you didn't get what you want, why don't you wait till next year, maybe Santa will remember next year....

Damn it, we wanted pictures NOW.....

 

lol well I am 16.

 

Ihave heard elsewhere taht the "t" means Targa.

 

IIRC "targa" is latan for One, Ie One top=Targa Top. Also my 82 is going to be a Targa top camaro 1 solid removable top, not 2 removable tops.

 

The Targa Top was invented by Porsche in the early '60s, and was given that name, IIRC, to pay homage to the Targa Florio road race... same sorta thing as the IROC badge to pay homage to the race.

 

The "T" in "T-top" is because of the shape from the windshield and t bar. Targa is a 1pc... ttop is 2pc. you can call it two top, twin top, tip top whatever. The T comes from the T bar that gets placed in the car.. that is in the shape of a T...
