White tops are nice. Even more so when wet.
The car would look great with white vinyl as well.
Its cold outside.

hahaha...
I would go white. Remember the higher maintenance on a white vinyl , on a daily driver. Had it on a truck bed cover, mini truck, all white. Was a pain , keeping it cleaned. Ended up ,being a daily maintence gig. ( sat outside, So Cal.)
Something I've thought about. I think as long as I keep a good cleaner in the car with a dedicated terrycloth, I'll probably do the same thing. It does live under a cover and under a carport. Will be living in the garage, when done.
Dave, is that car two-toned? the pic sure looks like a different green below the belt line? If so, since I'm a green guy, I'd look into doing a F8 top on it just to keep the exterior all green.
I love the Mod Tops also, but with this car, I'd probably go White from the two choices available, and what I'm seeing. But that's subject to change at this point...

Its just a crappy pic. Its all FJ6. It was all F8 to begin with, with a color matched vinyl top and parchment interior to begin with.
I can probably get a mod top for it or make one, but I'd have to find a decent pattern with white, black and maybe a corresponding green, close to FJ6. That would be bitchin.
It depends on the driver, the black top would be perceived as a BAD persona where as the White would be seen as GOOD persona. I would say you really need the know more about the driver before deciding.
I kind of thought the same thing, until I saw Amy in a pair of white go-go boots at the Modernism convention.
I think I'd see more of said boots, if I put the white top on it.
Heeeeeeeeeey, Amy's car looks just like mine! I was having the same dilemma. Mine has a black top and interior and I was thinking of going with white as I think that looks REALLY sharp. But, seeing as mine has black interior (and I have the original bill of sale with the options listed), I think if/when I redo mine, it will stay black. Sweet looking car either way!
Here's a pic of my car. I just got it and it's still VEEEEEEERRRRRRY dirty. Got it to run and drive, though. 318/auto.
Don't change it. That is a time capsule. I agree. Love it.
Normally I would have said black, but with white interior, and that exterior color white would really pop!
That was Amy's thought on it.
As far as her personality goes, she's really punny. A bit rotten in a really fun way, I guess you could say, so the car really does fit her personality, down to the name. She couldn't stop laughing at the name of the color, when I told her what she picked. She's one of the friendliest people I've ever met and is very expressive. After she saw a panther pink car with a white top, she thought I should do the Charger with a white top in the LL1 turquoise, but then I suggested the white top on hers. That got the clockwork spinning. She likes them both, but I think it would look cute in white, with her go-go boots and a green floral pencil skirt dress. She's a goofball, but she's not afraid of tattoos, cussing or beer, if that sums it up.
