I just noticed that the targa top on my '74 is much heavier than the top on my '71. I had never realized there was a difference. Is this well known amoung the "makin' my teener lighter crew"?? They both have a head liner and seem the same other than the weight. Is the early top a glass lay up and the later an SMC or something?? Dang....now I need to find an early top for my 74!
