that looks like a cheapo chop job. the factory never offered a conv sec that i know of. note there is no picture with the top up. it appears to me they simply hacked off the roof and put a toneau cover over the back area to cover the chopped areas. the roof has no glass in it because there is nothing on the bottom to hold it in place.

it is meant to be a removalbe hard top like an sl. but it is a mess and doesnt work. note the rear glass missing. the big gaskets at the front edge of the "removable hardtop".

it would be usable only as a convertible without a top...ever. the structural integrity of the car is severly compromised as well and by the looks of the top chop i wouldnt count on any reinforcing of the lower part of the chassis.

it it ran well i would considering buying it for the parts. but only after a personal inspection.

imho
