This is the other Camaro.I have just one pic of it.



Guess they are pretty flimsy in the chassis,as sec gens with the targa roof are known for that...and cutting of the roof want help.

And i guess they are pretty rare by now too.

Were these made by an aftermarket company, like my '88 'Stang? Just curious.

They were made by a firm that i cant remember the name on.I tried to google camaro ragtop,but nothing..

[SpiderGearsMan]

I can't believe you have so many US cars over there blazerteam , what with all of those saabs and volvos to buy

[Blazerteam]

They are over there .Us are the biggest market for them.

I've seen those cars with the T-tops try to bend up like wet spaghetti on the drag strip, those 'verts must be creepy as hell.

Knew a guy from work that was the first owner of a blue and white ......somewhere near a 79 T/A . Was done by a shop similiar to ASC . I alway wondered why GM never made them in the second gens since they did the first . Then when I saw one done,even a good one.........they just don't look right.

I don't remember GM ever making a ragtop 2nd gen.
As for noodling, my 70 Skylark has a roll cage because they're notorious for breaking the front window on hard launches.

i remember seeing them at car show when they came out...have pic...but way to dark to scan...i was using a 110 back then!!!

I had seen some around during the eighties. I would also be concerned about chassis flex. 2nd gen F-bodies were not meant to be ragtops.
