As I have been searching for a 6gc to purchase, I have noticed an overabundance of convertibles for sale. Is there some major negative about the 6gc convertibles? I've read the thread about they are actually imported as hard tops and then cut down by some company in California, but outside of that what are the major downsides? Unlike many convertibles, it has a glass rear window, not that yellow-plastic junk like most.

So would you guys recommend purchasing a 6gc convertible, or should I just wait for a hard top?

personally i never liked convertable models of any car, i don't even like targa tops
just because of performance reasons

You really wouldn't like my collection. I bet my targa will outperform your hardtop... biggrin.gif

Convertibles are fun if you live someplace you can enjoy them a majority of the time.

Here is a link to a Hardtop for sale if you're interested. If the $52K is to much, Here is another, $11K.
