I am not flaming anyone or anyone's car, but this needed to be brought to the entire NICO family's attention:

This is an S13 with a cloth roof on it like you used to see on Lincoln Town Cars, Mercury Grand Marquis, Cadillacs, etc. It's not a convertible....this is a FAKE convertible top on an S13 coupe...they even covered the side windows to make it like a limousine.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? I sure haven't. I have NO COMMENT on this....just wanted everyone to notice.

I've been looking for a clean convertible for a year and I did a double-take when scanning the eBay offerings this afternoon. i was like: WHAT?

At first, I thought it was a vert, then I saw the real glass window and the defroster button and I was kind of there scratching my head.

I think that is, without a doubt, the most unique no-other-of-its-kind 240SX on the planet.

Anyone second that?

nowhere in the auction did it claim to be a vert.

its just a mod somone did because they like the look maybe? .. and it definatly gets unique points, i wouldnt call it rice at all, but im not going to do it to my car by any means.

It looks like it can be taken off pretty cleanly, and then someone will have a nice coupe.

LANDAU TOP....that's what it was called. I knew there was a term better than "fake convertible top."

If the vert had the glass window and defroster, it'd be sweet!

... mine is actually designer paper. i photoshop gucci adn louis vuitton fabric adn suede and then print it on my laserjet. Until you touch it, you cant tell the difference....

but who can deny that they havent wanted the suede inserts on their s13 door panels and dash to be designer.... you can do it for about 75 bucks in suede

now now everyone. What have we learned in the past 2 months. Watch what you say. That car might fall in the hands of a NICO owner. And he/she might totally fix all the screwups on that car. Minust the engine its a pretty good body. Especially for someone who planned on doing an engine swap anyway. Wait who am I kidding. Its not a vert and they are trying to sell it as one. Thats kind of foul. But the HUD is pretty cool.

Tytest. Car. EVAR!!!!!

And I like that it's a 'cupe'. I was getting tired of those coupes, hatch-/fastbacks, wagons, sedans, and convertibles.
