We put a new vinyl top back on our '72 Lemans Sport when we did the car. Looked excellent. These tops were a period thing. Done properly, and looked after, a new top should outlast most of us. In the days of sitting in the rain, snow, and salt, the metal underneath took a beating. The main problem was that the roof, under the vinyl, had virtually no protection. Prepped and painted properly you should never have a problem. I've seen the white with black vinyl and, to me at least, it looks a lot better.

It'll look good with black vinyl top and black side/pin stripes.

Re: need opinions
 

As long as you use a quality top, it will look better with the vinyl top in my opinion. Don't use a cheep repro. Get it from SMS or Kee Auto top.

IMO
i am into 1970's Chevelles and i always hated seeing a White SS until i saw one with a black vinyl roof.
it breaks down all that white with perfect harmony to black stripes and a black interior.
if your 1969 has the black interior with black side stripe it will look stunning. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
attached is a photo of a 70 as i do not have one of a 69.

That is gorgeous Danny. I agree with that look! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: need opinions
 

The car has a black side strip and black interior.
and Mr. Rose had me convinced to keep it on.
then I tore the old one off today. I can see that white paint under the glue and it just changed the way the whole car looks.

Re: need opinions
 

Put your top back on Donnie, you're killing me.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif

I agree with most of the others. Not a big fan of white until you add the black top and stripes which really sets it off. The exception is the all white with black stripe 69 Yenko Chevelle. That car looks great with the addition of the Yenko stripes. That car would also give you some idea of what yours wouls look like sans top. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: need opinions
 

Donnie,
I can't vote 'cause I love them both ways. While I agree that the black hat breaks up the all white canvas, I gotta say Joe Anglin's car is my hands-down favorite Yenko Chevelle.

Which ever way you go, we know you'll do it right and have it looking great! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Here's another peek at Joe's car.

Re: need opinions
 

Donnie, I think you should leave the top on as it is called out on the trim tag.

However if you take precise measurements or cut a template for your VT molding studs and holes you can ad it later if you want. Best of both worlds.

Heed Bill's advice re: vinyl tops, buy a good one. Got mine from Kee and was very happy. Approx $90 for a cheap one and $200 plus for a good one but well worth it.

Re: need opinions
 

My '70 white Z28 has a black vinyl top and if it were not the original top in nice shape, I'd pull it off.

Re: need opinions
 

The vinyl top is the one thing that has not aged well when it comes to 60's style. I'm not a fan.

Re: need opinions
 

I have a L78 69 Camaro, orange, had a black top but took it off. Looks much better now.

The white body with the black vinyl roof gives the car a tuxedo-look.I like it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: need opinions
 

I have a 67 Nova with a original black vinyl top and it still looks good.

Re: need opinions
 

Will look great with the top on
