71 4dr Sports Fury needs a new vinyl roof, who makes the best one?

[Oz Sport Fury]

Hey guys,

I have a 71 4dr Sports Fury, its in Australia now, the vinyl roof is shot and has been removed, found some awesome rust i wasn't expecting to deal with but its a NJ salted road car, I was just wondering which supplier should I buy a replacement one from?

I've been looking at this place, their prices seem pretty good and shipping to Oz is very cheap also, anyone dealt with these guys before?

Legendary is the best and the standard. I used them for my 71 Gran Coupe. I cannot comment on Newstalgia Parts, as I have never seen their products. Does your 4dr have the convex or concave rear window?

No experience YET, but their "Color Elk" selection (middle panel) seems to be the closest match to the OEM item, to me. In ordering from anywhere, be sure about the rear window style, as that influences the C-pillar shapes/sizes.

Just some thoughts,

Follow. I have a 1971 Fury. Formerly black vinyl top. Would like to see how yours turns out. What color are you looking for?

Mine is an off white body with a black vinyl roof

It has the Concave rear window, does this effect the shape of the roof material?

I don't think i will buy from Legendary as they are 3x the price of others available, didn't bother checking their shipping as I'm guessing it would be several hundred!

They did have this cool video though, very handy tips on installing a new top!

All I can find on their site is convertible tops, nothing for hardtop or sedans?

I think I must have remembered incorrectly - I thought they manufactured vinyl tops too. Sorry!

We dealt with Newstalgia for our 69 Fury.
Good people to deal with and decent shipping time and prices.
Just make sure you tell them which rear window/roofline you have.
When you get the top, lay it out to rest prior to installation.
It will have tons of extra fabric that will need to be trimmed by your installer.
Hope this helps.

The correct material needed is called Boar Grain. Newstalgia Parts doesn't have it. Legendary and Dante's are both $539.00

Thanks. It is not the correct "grain" but nobody really notices it unless we point it out. Lol
I have a thread documenting the car's revival including the top installation

Penn Industries 405 232 8545. Correct grain, ran me under 150, had it in hand in a week and a half.

While sanding back the old glue I found the original factory red centre line crayon mark

Be sure to use a good epoxy primer when all the prep work and rust repairs are done. It does get really hard after 24 hours so a good scuffing with 80 grit will help the glue bite into the roof.
