The Vinyl Top was gone from my car when I got it.
I noticed that Legendary lists a 'wide seam' and apparently there then is a non-wide-seam version.

What is the difference?
Was the seam width based on a production date?
Did Legendary just realize that the seams should have been wide?

Wide vs Narrow seam determines the location of the side skirts, model and vinyl top option will determine what's correct for your car, or what you desire for a top?

1970 Challengers used the wide seam except for Gator Grain vinyl tops.

Thanks
In my mind the seam was the actual seam itself...I wayyy overthought it.

Is the Vinyl top that Year One sells a Legendary?
A Year One top is $249 and Legendary has theirs listed for $266

All 70 Challengers and most 71s used the wide seam top.

IIRC it's during the '72 model year Challenger production that the seams went from wide to narrow

"gator grain" tops were always narrow

If you buying a new top check the info out about 1/3 of the way down.

I can't find any website or info about Top Creations anywhere, but on ECS's website. Might have to call and see if they offer Challenger tops.

There is always 'more to the story'...
I called them yesterday.
As the Cuda top they did for Dave was a narrow seam, they really don't have wide seam.
They make vinyl tops, but this is not a company that has tops on the shelf. So, it is a bit dependent on whether they have material and/or patterns.
Wide-Seam 1970 versions require a roll-width of material that doesn't seem to be available any longer in the 'good' boar grain that ECS eludes to.
A customer in the area (Oklahoma City) has an original top and they were going to do some investigating. Unsure of the outcome at this point. Unsure of pricing as well.

Based on the conversation, the Legendary version may require a bit of stretching in order to get the top to fit well, and maybe, as ECS comments in the blog, this creates a bit of variation from 100% original.
We will see what the next few days produce, but for my purposes, for this specific car, I may be happy with the Legendary product.

So, I am still back to the original question as to whether Year One sells the Legendary tops. Has anyone ordered from Y1 and the box that showed up for the top was a Legendary?

When ever I need to know the vendor of a YEAR ONE product offering, I CALL, no Email, no text, no FB,no Moparts, etc, etc, ...just telephone, talk to a human and always get the answer I'm looking for...


The same goes for any other vendor, even if they say they offer the Legendary line, I'll call to confirm that's what's being shipped if I require that specific mfg's item


Or you can deal with Legendary directly, which I prefer doing...

Or you can just give me a call and I send you a Legendary top for the same price as YO

Ok the vinyl top on my car looks similar to the orange car picture.

When I measure from seam to seam it is about 39"center to centers 40" outside to outside at front of car and 38" in the back

I was looking up new tops and see the "narrow listed as 31 3/4" on Classic industries site. Do they have a misprint?

Does my car have the wrong top on it now? Getting ready to paint and putting new top on then and would like to put this style back on not the one that the seam goes down the sail panels

all vinyl top 1970 Challengers with the exception of V1G - "gator grain" used the wide seams - your car's top has been replaced at some point with an aftermarket/replacement top the material looks like GM
