I sold my 69 Chevelle SS396 while in college in May of 1978. I found it and bought it back in May of 1998. The kid that I bought it from had seller's remorse and bugged me to death to buy it back for over two years. He called one day and my wife answered. She came out to the shop and told me that he had called and wondered why I didn't just sell it back to him. I told her that it had sentimental value.
She said "If you were going out on cruise night and had the Chevelle and the 71 Cuda sitting here, both ready to drive, which one would you take?" I called the kid and he and his dad came right over and took the car home. I don't regret it, I have so many nice cars and he only had the one. Besides, we're just caretakers anyway. We can't take these cars with us.

amen,it will all burn in the end :worship:

If you do decide to go with the vinyl top I would make just one recommendation: strip the roof down to bare sheetmetal anywhere vinyl will be installed and then coat it with 2 coats of either POR-15 or Rust Bullet and then paint over that with a polyurethane paint. After all that, install the vinyl roof covering. The reason these cars rotted out so fast under the vinyl roof was because all the factory did for the vinyl roof cars was spray a coat of primer on the roof and slap the vinyl on over that. The primer was a poor barrier between the sheetmetal and the condensation that occurs under the vinyl. Result? Roof rot like crazy after only a very short time. If you are going to install the vinyl roof once again take the time to do it right and it will last a very, very long time.

I like the looks of the vinyl tops on these cars but I'm not sure if I could bring myself to putting one on, only because of the rusting issue..........

I went through the exact same thing with Swinger...as that was the ONLY place that this little car had rusted...covered the roof with POR-15 and painted as John suggested...six years ago...no problems...glad I put the top back on...

I have to tell you stuart, if that car had the white reflective stripe and the non-glare stripes, that would be one of the sexiest cars on earth..........
