mine has one and i love the way it looks. i do have some light rust issues that i am taking care of during the repaint and the roof will be getting a healthy dose of POR 15 before a new top goes on. gotta protect the roof...but i gotta have that vinyl top too.

As a general rule I HATE vinyl tops.  One of my favorite parts of the Cuda is where the roof transitions to the trunk.  The vinyl top totally disrupts that transition.  Every once in a while depending on the car, the color of the car/top/interior, and the style of top, it looks okay.  It is rare that a vinyl top E-body looks good to me.  Usually it is a 68 Charger, or a 1971 Charger with the partial vinyl top (landau?).

I can only recall one E-body I've seen with a vinyl top that appealed to me.  It was for sale on cudaworld.com back in 2003.  It was a Kelly Green round tail light Cuda with white top and stripe, and green interior.  It had Keystone rims, and was fitted with a 440-six pack.  I thought it looked great.  Of course I think it would have looked better without the vinyl, but even with it on I thought it was a sharp car.
