Just gotta ask this....why would you want to do that? Not that there is anything wrong with it, just curious.
I have never heard of something like that being available, which does not mean that it isn't.
If you are really serious about it and good with fiberglass, make your own. Spend $700-$800 and buy a factory hardtop and have at it with a saw. Cut it to the same dimentions as a factory T-top and use the same mounting and weather strips. I know that sounds VERY over simplified, but if you want it bad enough.......... |idea|

Well Glenn its like this... My wife doesnt like to ride in it because of the lack of a "roll bar"
or top. I have a 71 roadster that she likes but its a stock 454. The 70 has a 396 with 500 or more hp built by Pro Machine and it absolutly HAULS.

I thought the idea was weird but oh-well.

Ahhhhhhhh ! You have hit on a major priority....Keep the better half happy ! I see her point and have to agree with her. I am guessing that with the correct rearend components and some good sticky tires you might have that '70 in the high 11s at the track. Up here, I think we are required to have a roll bar if we break 12. I wish I could tell you someone that sells the cages cheap, but I just don't know anyone. Possibly you could have something fabricated like they sell for the C5s that just goes up over the back of the seats like the McDonald's golden arches. That has to be cheaper than a full cage.
Good luck!
