I have seen a 68 with Gator grain vynil top, but i don't know if it is factory correct.  Most upholstery shops should be able to get the material and make a top for you.

It was not available in 1968.

It was a 70 thang!!

I did not think it was available in 68, but for some reason thought it was a 69 thing.  Maybe that was the Mod Top?

A modtop on a charger,NOOOOOOOOO. Look what happened to the Daytona with a mod top it vanished into obscurity.

Not a charger I was Talking about Mod top in general, even though the Mod top Daytona on the train track was a cool pic!

I had a version of the picture around here where I wrote "BS train vs BS car, dont ya just love sarcasm?" but I cant find it so heres the normal version

if i remember correctly, the polaras could get it, but it was a weird variation in black.

the gator grain top, for '70, was a brown shiny coating on the black top, and was code V1R.  i'm 85% certain of that...

Correct. A 70 only option.

"Up until now, the only way to get any new GatorGrain for your Chrysler was to either:
a) Sell your soul to the devil in order to find some NOS stock
b) Kill 3 gators, skin, apply."


that's funny.
