AC Cobra Convertible Tops and Convertible Top Parts


AC Cobra Convertible Tops and Convertible Top Parts

The AC Cobra, also known as the "Shelby Cobra," was a British sports car, built in the 1960s. With its sleek design, lightweight body, and big American V-8 engine, the AC Cobra became the one of the most famous sport cars of all time. Although the AC Cobra was a powerful race car, it failed financially and so was discontinued in 1967.

Convertible Tops for the AC Cobra

We offer a range of convertible tops for the AC Cobra in a variety of materials. Robbins Auto Top Company manufactures all of our AC Cobra convertible tops. Like Convertible Top Guys, Robbins believes in high quality products and excellent customer service, so you're guaranteed a quality AC Cobra convertible top. Though keep in mind that our AC Cobra convertible tops are designed to replace authentic Cobra original equipment only, not replica cars. If you're ordering an AC Cobra convertible top for a replica, please check with the replica manufacturer before ordering an AC Cobra convertible top.

Along with money-saving convertible top packages for the AC Cobra, we offer custom convertible tops for the AC Cobra.

Choosing Your AC Cobra Convertible Top

The AC Cobra requires a one-piece convertible top, where the plastic window is sewn in or heat-sealed. This is good news as it's relatively easy to install. We offer the AC Cobra convertible top in a variety of materials, but the material of choice is British Everflex Vinyl, a material that was also used on Jaguar, Rolls Royce, and many other cars. The original AC Cobra convertible top was made of British Everflex Vinyl, which offers a rich appearance and is more durable than other vinyls.

The AC Cobra Convertible Top Buyer's Guide

We offer the AC Cobra convertible top in British Bison (also called Colonial Grain), British Everflex Vinyl, or Haartz Stayfast Canvas. Here's what you need to know about each material before you make your purchase:

British Bison (also called Colonial Grain): This is the American-made crush grain vinyl that imitates the more expensive British Everflex vinyl original to many British convertibles. These are often referred to as 'crush grain' or 'leather grain' vinyls. They are structurally equivalent (wear rating) to the pinpoint, Cabrio, and sailcloth vinyls.

British Everflex Vinyl: We are pleased to offer British Everflex Vinyl, the original material used on British convertibles including Jaguar, Rolls Royce and many others. Imported from England, British Everflex vinyl is a supple vinyl with a rich appearance and it's more durable than other vinyls. A good, less expensive alternative is Colonial Grain vinyl, which has the same kind of texture but is less durable.

Haartz Stayfast Canvas: This popular canvas has an outer layer and a preshrunk cotton inner layer. The two are bonded with and separated by a butyl rubber core. It is this core that makes the fabric last a very long time, with both better static and dynamic wear ratings than vinyl toppings. Haartz Stayfast is the American substitute for the German canvases used in Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, some models of Mustang and Lebaron and others. Canvas is widely regarded as "richer looking" than vinyl. It is a little harder to clean. The inside of the top is pre-shrunk cotton. The inner lining is usually black.
