AC Idea?, Roof mounted AC for those that don't want to cut their car. Options

[ClayPerrine]

Roof mounted AC.

Just mount it to a spare targa top.




It pulls 48 amps, so you will need to put a bigger alternator on the car, but other than that, no mods necessary. Great for those who want to be able to drive in the hot parts of the country, but have an unmolested car.

Weighs 75lbs.

Bill,
The cost is not the thing here.. it is for those of us that own a 914 that never had AC, and we don't want to cut it up to put AC in it. This would be removable in seconds and doesn't require cutting up the chassis.
