C5 Corvette Targa Top

The Corvette is one of the most iconic American cars ever made. Sports car enthusiasts adore the Corvette for its signature power and design. Of the numerous Corvette generations, the fifth generation — known as the C5 — is one of the most popular Corvette styles.

The C5 production run spanned from 1997 through 2004 and included features like an LS1 V8 engine, hydroformed box frame and rear-mounted transaxle. The early models could handle up to 345 horsepower, and that number increased with each subsequent model into the early 2000s.

C5 Corvettes have an outstanding build with high-performance features and capabilities, offering a delightful driving experience. Whether you’re working on a restoration project for your beloved C5 or you’ve just purchased one for the first time, you’ll find the Corvette parts you need to ensure your car looks its best. Our selection includes a range of quality targa tops for unbeatable restoration results.

What Is a C5 Targa Top?

Your car’s roof is an essential protective barrier, preventing interior damage caused by external elements like ultraviolet (UV) exposure and moisture. If you love feeling the rush of fresh air while on the open road, the ability to open the top is a must-have. Thanks to the targa top, C5 owners can have the best of both worlds.

Every C5 Corvette coupe has a removable carbon-fiber roof panel known as a targa top. These panels are easy to unlatch in a few quick steps and convenient to store in your car’s cargo area. 

C5 targa tops offer the security of a locking hardtop while allowing plenty of air into the cabin when removed. They also provide the perfect happy medium between a hardtop and convertible style. Because the targa top is just one section of your Corvette’s roof, the car’s distinctive coupe styling remains intact when you remove the targa top.

When You Should Replace Your C5 Targa Top

It’s common for targa tops to become worn over time. Between exposure to the elements and age, blemishes like cracks and scratches will appear from time to time over your vehicle’s life. 

Corvette lovers take pride in their vehicles and strive to keep them in pristine condition. That’s why we recommend inspecting your targa top periodically. If you notice any cracks or missing hardware, it may be time for a replacement.

Replacing a damaged targa top is one of the best ways to protect your C5 Corvette. Having a new, unblemished targa top is also especially important if you plan to take your Corvette to club meetings, competitions, parades and other events where you want your car to look its best.
