sc300 hardtop swap?

Hey i'm looking at getting a 92 sc300 5speed. the only one i've found in my price range and close to me is a convertible. Now i'm not a fan of the soft top at all and i was wondering if there is a hardtop swap for these vehicles. I've been looking around for a few days and haven't been able to find anything. any help would be awesome.

he speaks the truth. SC300/400 never had a vert. option, and for good reason.

It's a shame they destroyed a 5spd making that convertible.

I agree. Offer $1,000 as the car wouldn't be safe to drive like that. If it were done properly, I'd go for it but not the way it is now.

I seen a convertible 5 years ago in a ritzy part of town near me. Not bad but I don't know about a convertible. If you really want it go for it. It's about what you like.
