If anyone remembers the old TV show (early 80s) "Simon & Simon", one of them drove a red 82-84 Z28 with a targa top. No idea who did the conversion, but the car was for sale on Ebay about two years ago I think.

BTW TPI 383, did you ever finish the targa top mold? Would you be interested in making some for sale?

No I never finished because a buddy jay desided to do it also. So i didnt want to have 2 Targa top Z's running around all the same shows etc..

I always wanted to do a vert so I desided to take it one step further and used a totaled 91rs I had as a donar car to swap all the parts over to my Z
