T-Top Owners in NYC

Hey guys, Im in the market for another car. Now, before I go out and buy one wiht T-Tops I'd like to have a look at them. The Car I might buy has C&C T-Tops. I just wanna see the difference in person from the Factory and Aftermarket. Im used to my Hardtop Camaro, So I really have no experiece with T-Tops.

Anyone in NYC that's willing to let me check their T-Tops out, please drop me a PM.

Thanks!,
Sam

Re: T-Top Owners in NYC

I'm about an hour from NYC so checking mines out is'nt probaly too likely. My 87 TA is hardtop, but I have a blue 87 Firebird that has T-tops. If you have questions I can maybe try to explain some stuff for you. The T-tops are mint so if you have any questions let me know. I have plenty experience with T-tops. I use to own a 82 bird that I sold back in March with t-tops with the rubbers in bad shape. So I know about the good and the bad.

My 91 T-Top will be on display at the Howard Beach show on Thursday (providing it does not rain). The show is located in the Waldbaums parking lot off of Cross Bay Blvd.

Re: T-Top Owners in NYC

^ I'm buying, and you can hold me to that....

Haven't been down there in so freaking long, I'm talking years bro. I remember when I used to go to the Bow-Wow/Pizza City when I was a little kid lol. Good ole "Freestyle" days, back when George Lamond started doing his thing....

Re: T-Top Owners in NYC

The sad part is I remember what you are talking about.

I use to hang with the Cover Girls, TKA and the rest of the clan from Queens.

Pretty scary, I think that was when the thirdGen was the new car on the block and now they are classics.. PRETTY SCARY!!!!

Re: T-Top Owners in NYC

^ Next your probably going to tell me that you used to uprock (battle) in clubs like Paleds & Lamours East on Queens Blvd, Forest Hills "Swim Club", Oasis Roller Rink in Ridgewood (remember that one)....

I know what your saying! I remember back when it was "Mustang 5.0 vs Iroc-Z28", when Vanilla Ice just started to do his thing. Used to go to Christ the King High School, oh my goodness am I now starting to think back....

Cover Girls, TKA, HELL YEAH! They put on some good performances. Back then clubbing was the best. Clubs like Avanti's, Silver Screens, Metro 700's, Funhouse, ACT III's, and SO many more....

Can't believe they took away our old movie theatre on Crossbay/Liberty. Place just isn't the same anymore. Heh, if your around my age, which it sounds like you probably are, you remember DJ "Chris" Scarpoli from Howard Beach. He was WAY ahead of his time.

Re: T-Top Owners in NYC

Cross Bay theater is now a Models... Go figure.

Yes I remember the days back in the Fun House. I was there when Madonna performed for the first time in NY. Why they picked the fun house I will never know.

Christ the King... my step son goes there now!!!

Long Island, ahh brings back many memories (looks around room making sure wife ain't around LMAO). Yeah, Hempstead Turnpike, used to street race a lot over there. Back then an eleven second car was considered "king". Now, it's a little faster than factory.

Heh, 80's Madonna, when she still could be considered "sane". Christ the King ruined me (home of the wonderful cemetery view, all the way around LMAO). Should have went to either Forest Hills High School, or Franklin K Lane. Why I picked CTK, I'll never know. Hopefully your step son is having a much better time there now, then when I did back then....

I used to race an Electra 225 on Hempstead Tpk and the Conduit. I think an eleven second car is slower than factory now.
