Lots! but after 45 years, I'd say 90 to 95 percent of them have been changed to a black top! No one seems to like the white tops anymore!

 If I remember correct....if you got a white convertible top, the well liner was still black so as not to cause a white-out effect reflection in the rear window as viewed from the inside. Somehow I remember John Z mentioning that.
