After looking over the '60 I just bought I can see that it was a powertop car with two fours (based on the tach); I also talked to the PO who confirmed it was powertop equipped as well. Of course the powertop assembly is long gone.
However I spoke to a friend this morning who happened to have c1 power top pieces and he sold them to me- so know I have a few relays switches etc.
I expect the price to be high for the right pieces, but I have plenty of time to find and source out what I need. Who are the power top gurus and where would one start in their aquisition of the parts?
I also know that these tops are complex and that making them fully operational will require knowledge and skill- Right now I wish to acquire the parts and the knowledge.
Also looking for any parts for a conversion to a '62 powerglide set-up.
Thanks

Although not shown on the above link, I also have the soft top frame and associated brackets.
Email me if you are interested.
