1969 TransAm

I am rebuilding a 1969 Firebird TA with a Cordova top. The Cordova comes down to the rain gutters on the roof or does it come down as the Camaro 1" above? 2 questions how many 1969 Pontiac TA's were made with the Cordova Tops?

Never realized they called the vinyl top "Cordova." Guess PMD was ahead of Ricardo Montalban hawking the new Chrysler later.

A search of photos shows no Firebirds with the Camaro type of top. All are full coverage, even in Firebird reference books. That doesn't mean that some weren't short-sheeted, but we can't find any nor have ever seen any.

As reference, this Cordova vinyl top was option number: SVT/G08 and cost $89.52. It came in only black, ivory, and creme colors.

Interestingly, National Parts Depot sells the SVT/G08 top (https://www.npdlink.com/product/restoration-quality-double-seam-vinyl-top-black-levant-grain/122752) and lists it for Firebird and Camaro but for the Camaro states: "1969-1969 CAMARO OPTION CODE C08, REQS TRIMMING THE PILLAR AREA OFF". That might tell you that it was a Camaro-only deal with the less than full coverage.

As for quantity with these tops, PMD kept lousy records. Perhaps Pontiac Historic Services might know.
