      There were several Yenkos with vinyl tops that looked great. I am sure that it didn't hurt their value any either. I especially liked the one that was yellow with the black top. It really set off the Yenko stripes.

      But for the most part I don't like the maintenance of them. They also make the car look more elegant than racy so it will really make a big difference these days what wheels you are planning on running. The right combination of wheels and tires will really make the car with a vinyl top. I saw some redline tires at Sema and some really cool HotWheels wheels that would make it look like a HotWheels and those little cars had black roofs on some of them and looked really elegant and racy at the same time. It is amazing what the mind remembers as you look at whats new and different even when it's old. I believe they call that "CLASSIC" looks.

      I'd have to say it depends on the color combo myself. Mine will be orignal color Lemans Blue really leaning towards putting white top back on it.

      You could even do something different like this. This is stock though.

      Trapin, do what works for you! Period. You are the only one that counts.

      Note: Someone put an aftermarket top on mine when I bought the goat.That was the thing to do back in the early 70's. I took it off, however lots of extra work when doing that.

      How about painting the "vinyl roof" on like some factory cars back in the day? I do agree with Ralph with the pearl black strips and black vinyl... it won't fly so good. I really like the original paint scheme! Only problem is then you will have to do some straightening! It is along winter in the midwest!!!!!!

      go with the vinyl top and go with the 17" ralleyes, or better yet have some custom wheels cut to mimic the hubcaps.

      I vote vinyl too. Don't mess with the family heirloom!
