Getting stuck here!
The seller called wanting to know what I thought the top was worth with the window frames?

I told him - In my opinion - $1,800.00 I have no idea where the "Buck" is and 'they' sure aren't making them any more!

Cons: They aren't available any more.
They are very hard to actually use- need to be under 5'10"s=unless your a contortionist!
They ALL need some fitting, aka modifying to work well.
The rear latches are really funky, but can be modified much like the old Corvettes!

Pro's: With mods they are great!
Makes for a nice ride, especially in cool/wet weather
Makes the car faster on any track!
Also makes the heater work about 200% better

ROLL BARS-MINE?
Hmm, with a soft top the bar(s), or a 4-point Bar, the soft top works great. So much so that the hoops are not even needed to hold the top up!
Roll bars take care of any inherent slop/wrinkles in the top BUT I don't know about the hardtop fitting over them? Nothing a little modifying could't take care of when you are fitting it to the body.
Strongly not suggested installing / fitting a hard top on a painted body!

If a top was available....an IF someone wanted to invest a couple of grand.....I could and would make a "Buck" for one so we could still have them available!

Bob, maybe today...? I certainly hope so!
