Blue Mod Top - 1969 Satellite and 1970 Cuda Yellow Mod Top - 1969 and 1970 Cuda Green Floral Top - 1969 Dart and Coronet Tortoise Grain - 1969 C-bodies Gator Grain - various 1970 models Green Gator Grain - 1974ish Charger and Coronet Reptile Grain - mid 70s Gold Dusters Walnut Pattern/Paisley - 1970-71 Gran Fury Aztec Grain - 1972ish Newport Cordoba Also the 1971 Imperial had a maroon vinyl top that quickly faded to show the bizarre patterned base they used for the top, but it wasn't supposed to do that. I also know about the Silver Special tops (1967ish Satellite), but they were just a different color not a unique top, weren't they. So have I missed any?

However I am not sure if it was factory or aftermarket. Tops seams, moldings etc were correct, hood was closed I have a pic somewhere but right now I can't find it.

Ford and Mercury used Houndstooth vinyl tops on their pony cars. Never heard of any Cuda ones. Hope you can find the pic Tom.

A friend has a 72 coronet which has a gatorroof (V1G) in green but the pattern is not the 1970 gator grain, it is more like the 69/70 tortoise version but green instead of brownish. Carsten

Someone on another site mentioned one a while back that one of his pals had one, if he ever posted a photo I missed it. Had to be aftermarket, but it would still be cool to see.

That emblem is correct but completely faded like most became from sitting outside. Here's a picture of a nice original in the correct shading/colors. BTW, I would give my buddies left nut for some blue/green material for my modtop. Unfortunately I haven't had any luck finding it. I wonder how much it would take to invest into having some made? 5759091-IMG_1565.JPG (447 downloads) When I die I want to go like my Grandfather did, quietly in his sleep. Not screaming like the passengers in his car.

Several individuals looking for Blue Mod, for some high end restos......as far as tooling /investiing for production with an established vendor,......say 5 fiqures, depending on the min volume of the run needed

About 15 years ago, a buddy had several rolls of original blue/green Mod material - his dad acquired it from Chrysler when he worked there as a security guard - they were throwing it away. He finally decided to sell it all & it all went to somebody - I don't remember if he sold it to Legendary. There was probably enough for 4-5 tops. I still have a piece of it that I will frame. I'd like to get an emblem to go with it. I have a large roll of the silver/black Boar grain material, but there seems to be no interest in it. No Man With A Good Car Needs To Be Justified
