Which brings up an interesting question, that I THINK I know the answer
to...
I have a '72 with the original hardtop, but because I live in southern New
Mexico where it almost never rains, and rarely even gets below freezing, I
never use it.
So, thinking down the road to someday when I might decide to sell the car,
would I get enough of a higher price with the hardtop included with the car
to justify NOT selling the hardtop now? In other words, would I be better
off getting $600 now, or would the inclusion of the hardtop with the car get
me an extra $1,000 or so?
Opine away!

Subject: [6pack] Hardtop prices
Folks:
Just saw a factory hardtop go on eBay for $660. About what I paid
for
mine.
Just an FYI in case anyone was considering a factory hard top for
their car. They are available for reasonable $$$. Some things to look for:
Glass is in good shape, stainless trim pieces are intact, minimal rust. Plan
on replacing the headliner. Even if it is intact, you still must replace it.
It will be extremely fragile (a light finger pressure will cause it to
split)
and the factory adhesive will have bled through the fabric. If by chance
your
fabric is not like tissue paper, I suppose you could simply paint it instead
of replacing it.
Plan on at least $100 for motor freight, too. It is too large to go
UPS.
eBay item: 170312764588
Cheers,
Vance
