1976 Cutlass Roof Interchange?
The vinyl top has caused the roof on my 1976 Cutlass Salon to rust through to the point where repairing it is not an option and I've been told a replacement roof needs to be installed.
Does anyone know what year and models interchange with this car? '76/'77 obviously, but I've been told earlier Cutlass models and perhaps some Buick may interchange.
I've found a couple '76/'77 roofs but they have the same problem.
Thanks

It'll probably be difficult to get a T-Top roof at a reasonable price.
My guess would be 73-77 Cutlass, Regal, or Century. I think the Chevelle/Malibu, Monte Carlo, and Grand Prix's had different roof lines. Not familiar enough with the other Pontiac variants line Grand Am, Can Am, etc of those years to say anything about those.
Pictures of the rust thru would help, is it just the skin or the support structure? T-Top cars should have extra bracing, don't know how they did that.

@Vfilms did you find a roof for your car?
I am looking at a 1976 Cutlass Supreme (same formal roofline as the Salon) which has the same issue: roof skin is rusted to the point of not being repairable, but the structure is good. The rear of the car is a rock-solid Texas car. There are not many 1976-1977 Cutlass in my area for parts: I am not sure if a 1976-1977 Buick Regal, Pontiac Grand Prix or Chevrolet Monte Carlo roof would work. I am trying to form a plan BEFORE I buy this otherwise-solid car.
