  A Cordoba T'roof?  Is that what I am looking at? I don't believe it.  Do you know what the option number is on that?  I would love to see better pictures of that.  Learn something new everyday.  Thanks for the pics.  I called the number and havn't gotten in touch with anyone yet.

I had a '77 Cordoba with a T-roof. It had full gauges and a 400 but still it had the column shifter  :dunno:

Column shifters and a bench seats were cool if you had to do the "butt slide".   :thumbsup:

  I thought that that was a custom option.  Was it hard to fabricate?  Did it work without leaking?  It does look cool.  I have a 70 fk5 barracuda that originally came with a bench seat.

Are you talking the T-roof?  :clueless:

I would imagine that it's doable but I would watch out for the rigidity of the car after a t-roof is put on.  Even though there is that strip of metal that acts as structure, the roof section is none the less weakened.  We used to have a couple of t- roof Trans Ams.  On the '81 we had (last year of the 2nd gen firebird with t-roof thus supposedly with less issues to deal with.) the center section was starting to tear (the part between the glass t-roof panels) as we had a steep driveway and the frame of the car would twist when we went in the driveway at an angle.  Flat driveways probably didn't put as much stress on the t roof section.  We didn't have issues with leaking.  I don't know about Cordoba t-roofs if they leaked or not.  Looks like this guy did a custom fab, not a dealer option to my knowledge.

One friend of mine about 20 years ago had a 80's Malibu wagon and a '70s T-Bird that he got the Sawzall out and made them both into Targa top cars.  He cut out the section over the front seats then made a tonneau roof section with vinyl and snaps.  Look very cool on both, moreso the T-Bird as it was real classy since it was white with a white interior.  These may have been full frame cars (as opposed to E-bodies which are uni-body design) so there was more rigidity to start with.  Sorta like you wouldn't turn a hard top e-body into a convertible.

My Grandfather bought a new Cordoba off the lot with T-Roof, it was black on black.  My Dad said that car was awesome.

I've seen the '71 with the T-roof before but there is never any pics of the car with the tops off.

Back in the day I thought about putting the roof of the Cordoba on a 'CUDA but I didn't want to ruin resale value

Nowadays I don't worry about that too much but I don't have the Doba anymore so    :dunno:

I guess it would be pretty cool but I think a '73 or 4 Charger SE would look best with the T

Cool ad!  I used to have a Dodge Magnum TCR slotless slot car.  (Those TCR cars were the ones that had no slots on the track so they could pass from lane to lane.)
