I'm looking to buy a 1978 Trans Am. It has American T-Tops in it. I've never heard of these before, are these rare? Does this increase or decrease the value of the car since not that many T/A's have them. Does anyone know if they are problematic, ie leaking?.
Thanks

Try this:. It's under Tech Talk/Hurst (and other) t-tops.

The American T-Top was an aftermarket T-top that could be installed. They weren't done by the factory, they weren't done by the delaers, they were installed by owners who were sick of the Hurst T-tops leaking. They are about the same as Hurst t-tops, but about an inch deaper. I would say it neither hurts nor increases the value of the car. It hurts it a little more because they are aftermarket.
