overhead console rare for t-tops?

hi it seems some time ago somewhere i read that the overhead console on t-top cars were rare is this true or just BS?

im not sure if "overhead console" is the correct name like on my atleast it contains date/time, recreation, medical,distance, trip, chassis miles, engine miles, total miles, and some extra dials i cant think of, and it also has the map light, phone holder, and another strange plastick sleeve like compartment. thanks. so rare or not?

Not rare at all. The "phone" pocket that you speak of is actually a cigarette pocket. The plastic pocket that you mention is supposed to be for a flashlight. It sounds like it's missing. Either way, it's not a rare item.

Should you be interested in swapping in an overhead, take note that there are differences between the t-top and coupe version:
