Reply to "Converting a Speedster to a Convertible D - maybe ?"

CMC made a cabriolet style speedster with roll up windows, I owned one. Back when I owned it in the mid 2000's I didn't know much about the replica speedster world or did I know about this web site. If I had I would have found out how rare the roll up window CMC Speedsters are. At the time I was under the impression all replica Speedsters had roll up windows. I found out this wasn't the case 3 years ago when I was looking to buy a Speedster to replace the one I wish I never sold. The CMC Speedster I had was supposedly one a few built in house by CMC for a special customer. It also was powered by a water cooled Mazda RX7 rotary engine with a Holley 4 barrel carb conversion. The dual mufflers were Harley Davidson motorcycles exhausts. The car really ran well and yes it had a whale tail engine compartment lid that CMC had made and offered, also very rare I think (probably for good reason). Does anyone on the SOC currently own this CMC or know who does. I sold it to someone in South Carolina back around 2011 or so I think.

 It would be great if someone started selling kits to convert our Speedsters to roll up windows and offered the service to do the work as well.
