I need to find a supplier of a vinyl top for my 70 chevelle. I have not found dark green in catalogs. Anyone got ideas on where to go to get this vinyl top in original color?

My friend did one a year or so ago. I will ask him today and get back to you.

Follow up. I worked with Karen and Key Autotops 800-438-5934 and they set me up with new vinyl. I feel the color and padding thickness were almost perfect.

As a last resort you could try SMS Auto Fabrics. Not cheap (around $300) but probably have correct color (close anyway) and grain.

I have used Kee and SMS both recently and prefer Kee for a number of reasons.

The correct vinyl tops shouldn't have any padding, which is the problem with the top's, most of the Chevelle vendors sell. I will be re-doing the top on my Chevelle this winter because the new top that I put on it a few yrs ago is one of those cheap tops.

I put an SMS top on my El Camino, and the vinyl is perfect. Looks just like the original. It also cost $300.... Why is Kee better? Better price?

I forgot to post a follow up on the resolution. I got mine thru Key Auto Parts. 800-438-5934. The top fits great and seemed to be very very close to original in color and only had very light padding on the back. Karen at Key was very helpful and hooked me up with the correct top.
