I agree it's strange, but I know two people who have literally never lowered the top on their muscle-era convertibles.

I see show cars like that all the time - especially the rotisserie restored cars that are up on a turntable at a car show. Much less common on an unrestored car that gets driven. Have to wonder if the prior owner(s) ever had it down.

Currently $28,600 with the reserve not yet met. I know I sure wouldn’t sell it for that....

Wow. I wish it was close by so I could look at it in person.

My first car in 1978 was a '69 Firebird convertible and I kept the top down as much as possible.

On my wife's '68 RS/SS convertible the only time the top was ever up was the day we sold it.

I try to leave my top up when I'm not driving the car, because the top material can shrink to the point where you can't get the top back up and closed fully. Also, those wrinkles can become semi-permanent when you leave it down for months at a time. I also usually leave it up when I am at a show and it will be sitting out in the hot sun all day long. Those black seats get scalding hot, and the carpet and underside of the top will fade over time from the effects of Ol Sol. Yeah, you can install the top boot to help with the top fading, but those things are a complete pain in the azz, especially on first gen Camaros.
