Back in 1985 a guy at my high school had a 1972 Nova vinyl top car with this top. It was the only one I had ever seen at that time and I have not seen one in person since. It was orange with black top and black interior. Beautiful car.

Wow - can’t believe the info that this group has access to! So, the 168 figure that my buddy quoted was approx the number of blue cars (164) with that option.

I knew a guy who had one ordered from the factory. Not many made for sure.

Alrighty, there are the numbers for 1972 Novas:

White 1,050
Black 3,075
Blue 164
Pewter 202
Covert 1,424
Tan 353

Option was produced in 1973 too, and I think production was around half at 3000+.
