The differences between the early (pre 73) and later Targa tops is shown below. The most significant difference is the step where the window seals attach. I suspect due to the different windows used in the 73 up cars. I'm checking that out now. The step is noticeably taller or hangs lower on the later tops.
Other differences are shown but I suspect they won't have a major impact. Thanks for those at WCR who volunteered their tops for the inspection    |

This is good information. Maybe it would be better suited in the originality forum where it might be easier to find?
My 73 has an early top according to the info here. Is it possible that my 73 came with the early top or is it certain that it was replaced at some point in time? It seams to fit pretty good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
