A couple of points. The only original Le Mans Hard Top in existence is the one owned by my good friend, Ernie Nagamatsu, of 'Ole Yeller II fame. He purchased it from Benson Ford and it was the subject of an AW piece on his 289 Cobra which is not an a Le Mans car, but one that was owned and operated by Max Balchowsky, who built the 'Ole Yeller cars.

Joe Traut, who lives in Massachusetts and runs in the Miata Challenge every year, owns a Unique Cobra with the Le Mans top, which I believe was one of the first ones out there. Call Allan or Maurice at 256-546-2395 for more information. I don't recall if they manufactured these "in-house" or contracted them outside.
