Does anyone know how many versions of OEM T tops were made?

My 86 SS came with (well at least when I got it so who knows) locking non channel tops. It is a Texas built car. It was sold in NY. It currently has a non locking black plastic channel top on the passenger side, pirated off an 85 Grand Prix at a pick n pull due to an emotionally unstable squirrel committing suicide by throwing himself through my original top.
Haven't had any issues with those unstable squirrels lately?

The Monte has been living the good life inside a garage, greatly reducing the chance of suicidal wildlife commiting hari-kari.

Curiousity got the best of me so I took my nos locking tops out of the boxes. No plastic trim.
What are the part numbers if I may ask? Does it end in a 4 and a 5 (86-88 no channel) or is it a 6 and a 7 (pre-86 with channel)? Interestingly, gray and black shaded older T-top glass had 6 and 7 at the end of their part numbers.

I’ll take a look at the boxes tonight and let you know.

Everything’s for sale at the right price :mrgreen:

I would have to replace them, as I need a set for my resto. I’m not a parts hoarder.
Not gonna lie superbon, I may have drooled a little on myself when you said NOS locking T-tops. Good score!

Unfortunately the boxes are quadruple wrapped in that brown packing tape and I’m not at a point to tear them up yet. No labels on the tops themselves. They’re locking, I believe they are 86 and newer.

I consider myself pretty lucky on that purchase. I was in the right spot at the right time, and I don’t think the seller quite knew what they had.
