Aftermarket T-Tops

I picked up a set of T-Tops that are supposed to be for an F-body but they didn't fit my 86. I had put them up on a shelf in the garage and forgot about them until i stumbled on them today.
I think i read somewhere there was aftermarket T-Tops put in the 3rd gens, cars and concepts maybe?
Does anyone have any info on these?
Anyway to tell for sure?
What are they worth?

I can post some pictures tomorrow.

Re: Aftermarket T-Tops

Car and concepts did make t-tops for the f-body among other cars
so it's possible that's what your set is

here are some pics of C&C t-tops from an 86 that i parted out for you to compare to
you can see the C&C logo on the outer rear corners

in the last pic you can see that the distance from the windshield to the t-tops is larger since the topps are a little smaller than factory

Re: Aftermarket T-Tops

There's several threads posted here.Not as common as OEMs t-tops, but worth about the same.Are they the vent type or like the ones in the pics above.

Re: Aftermarket T-Tops

There are also early and late factory tops. The early have arms that swing up and the later ones have pins that slide out.
