Recently bought this 72 CST that has a factory black hard top on it. I have seen several original Black tops over the years and it seems to me they were smooth finished but am curious. Anyone with a factory original Black hard top--is is smooth or rough finished??

The top I gave Wornbrakes was rough (same as my white top on my 72)

Factory tops, to my knowledge, were all textured. Is it possible it could have been refinished.

Well that's what I kind of thought. Apparently they were all textured and this one was sanded out---beautifully to boot!! Well guess I will clean it up and put it on the for sale board or e-bay. The hatch is typical crap but that would be relatively easy to replace but a nice smooth top~~~~~cool. Thanks guys for the replies~~~~huck
