I am looking to get a 95 Cobra 2-Top Convertible soon - always wanted one.

Thanks!

Yeah - I already know that they do not have the cart for the top - and I doubt the video. Those are probably going to be ebay searches for some time. Thanks for the info!

From my understanding of these things, each top was fitted individually off the production line due to how they came from the supplier. Also, the hardtop has two pins one the back where the top connects as well as a wire harness for the rear defogger.

Interesting what you can find on these, and I cannot wait to get one of these.

Once I do, you can be sure pics will be posted!

black would be the only way to go.. it would hide the seams very well.

I'm pretty sure they all were black. They didn't make any other colors available in them.

Wow, I always wanted one of these until I just looked at the pic with the hardtop installed. It's not bad, but just not...exactly what I expected. Still a cool idea, though.

they were all black. Never noticed on anyother 94-95's did the tan interiors all have the black trim at the tops? My 98 Cobra is all Tan except for the top of the dash

Looks like the paint & match the fabric to whatever you want.

That looks so strange... I wonder why they chose to use the 05+ style instead of incorporating the rear quarter windows that are already there.

That is interesting! I'll buy one if they make it for the 05+.

Well, looked at the one in Cleveland today and, to say the least, they are asking way too much for its condition. It only has 28k mileage on the o.d., but the car has seen the weather up here.

Oh well, two more to look at yet.
