Tonneau
« on: October 30, 2022, 16:09:02 »
I bought my car in 1978 from the first owner, he ordered the car with a hard top but no soft top so he used a full fitted tonneau.
I don't use the tonneau any more as I now have a soft top, my question is was the tonneau an option at the time.

Is this a California coupe, a car with the back seat and no convertible well?

There is an option code for a tonneau, just don't recall it off the top (as it were...)

Found it in the list of option codes in the tech manual - option code 288 with a note (California coupe).

Is it possible to post a photo of the car with the tonneau installed ?
Would love to see it.
