Hey guys i am looking into getting an LT1 Convertible and had some questions about the top. Like when im looking at a car should there be things i need to look for? How long do tops last for and how much to replace? Any help would be great. Thanks.

The top will last quite a while, depending on how they're cared for - mostly whether they've been covered and garaged.

The other thing you might look for is generally the ride and squeaks in the car. The convertible will flex quite a bit, so it's good to set subframe connectors on them asap. Of course it would be best if the original owner had installed them.
