@Oldsalt – If you don't have the roof what is the price for getting one? I would be hard to drive without one so please provide me with where to purchase one and price to buy. ...

After doing a quick Google search, they seem to range from 2-7k depending on condition and if they are original or not. Here is a link to the more expensive one but I would do a little searching for private party sales. https://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette/product/corvette-1961-fully-restored-original-hardtop-622590?srsltid=AfmBOoohHUT3282p8aZhQtcF5r-kB7XwblKrLOXG5VCrJE1kpL_ltRKv
