I want a true 3 season car. That means a convertible top and a heater. The heater is a $399 add, great.
I seem to remember F5 offered a top but it was expensive ($10k ? ) and it ONLY went with the roadster and not the more classically styled 289 ver
....Is this still the case?

Factory Five offered a soft top that was manufactured by Rod Tops for a tad under $4k. I have this top and can’t say enough about the high quality.

Rumor has it that top may no longer be available.

There is a top that is more period correct available from Whitby for around $1.5k.

Any pics with the top down?
It does not go inside a boot, so it may sit like a big blob on top of the rear deck lid, catch wind, etc....

Tops for these cars are on or off. I don't know of any true convertible top.
