How much to make a car a targa?

[VicTusDeuS]

I saw a car a mustang the other day with a targa top on it. Someone must have had that done cuz they dont come like that. How much do you think a shop would charge to do something like that?

I think they had a targa one year with the F-body. I'm not sure if it was a custom job but if it was, it probably cost more than the car, itself is worth. What year, approximately, was the car?

GM's camaros and trans ams were f-bodys...unless you meant he fox body model....No this was a newer one 94-98 it looked like. It's down in hoboken, it seemed like the guy had it done in steps. Like i remember seeing it a few months ago in primer and now ti's all painted. It looks nice..

There another kid with an eclipse around here. He had the same thing done, I havnt had a chance to talk to him yet though.

Back in the 80's they used to charge 10,000 to make a trans am a convertible. That was the total conversion price. I assume this would be cheaper.

To take a T top car it wouldn't be too hard, but you'd have to beef up the frame (or lack of a frame, its a unibody) pretty substantially, T top cars even with subframe connectors are not as good as hard tops. Plus you'd have to have a custom top for the damn thing, why?

Get a vert or T top car, I have a T top car but shoulda got a hard top, had a vert previously though so didn't want to give up the fresh air.
