I like it.They called it a "roadster",so,I'd feel safe to say that there isn't an "up" top for it.Not bad looking,plus,I like that he added the EFI engine.Good spring and summer cruiser.

I have to agree. Looking at it, I see absolutely no provision for a top mechanism, latches, etc, so I think Vinnie is on the money and there is no top.

I see a rubber gasket above the front window. maybe it's a full roof section.... or was at one time.

I"m not sure there was a full roof. I think the rubber gasket only acts as a sharp edge protector of the sheet metal after the roof was cut.

That was my other thought.. but why use rubber instead of a trim metal.. I wish I could see more pics of that car. It's quite interesting. Can someone ask if there are more pics of it...I don't have an Ebay account.

I saw where it said "roadster" but just figured it had a top of some sort.
