You should be able to document via the fender tag that the car had that wierd vinyl top. It was called the "Mod-Top" option and is probably one of the rarest trim options there is. There was also a matching interior option in the same fabric. You could have a one-of-one car. Now the impossible part would be trying to find that vinyl top material!

I guess you had to be there in those times to understand but they were pretty cool.

That car is totally cool! I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

I hate Rallyes on those cars, though . . .

Hey, Steve, nice Camaro in the mag!

The paisley vinyl top technically is not called the Mod Top - that was Plymouth's name.

I also think these cars were supposed to be F6 green only. The original poster said the car was black. I see three scenarios:

1) Car isn't a paisley top car

2) It's really not black

3) Perhaps the top WAS available in other colors (after all, black matches everything!), the info I have seen had subsequent running changes, or it's a special-ordered car!
