Here's a ragtop for you

Spotted in Mexico several years ago. I was scanning through some old photos and thought this was interesting.

WOW now that's a first for me. Well ok who's going to be the first in GA, to get one?

That actually looks to be built pretty good. Probably works great in a dry climate, as it doesn't look very waterproof around the edges.

So are you going to do the 74 like that? I'm sure the guys at Stockornaut will be excited on trying it out for you.

if you are going to do a rag graft might aswell go all out!

LOL!!!!!

There's no way that would seal in a rain storm, hope they got vinyl seats and drain plugs in the pan

sorry guys... I've had one since 06....



BTW... the top is electric

Nice! Have you been hiding it from us?

Wasn't that from a company called Sun Pro or something like that?
I remember seeing those ads in HotVW and VWtrends way back in early 90's..... I always thought they were cool back then, but now...
maybe if your top was buckled in and the rear window busted out, why not?

Mine is Mexican and made in Mexico by a company called Transforma... I actually had the vinyl top replaced with canvas so it is much nicer now. There was a company in California called streetbeat customs that made them but they were not electric. They actually seemed to be identical, but when I was trying to get a replacement for mine they didn't even have the pattern anymore, but agreed that they did look identical.
