Default 69 Conv. Hard Top $$$ ???

I am looking at a hard top for my 69, does anyone know what they should cost. This one is perfect, with the stainless tips in place, no headliner. Will have to have painted but that is normal. Thanks for any information. Paul

You can get a vinyl top kit from Al Knock for about $60 (black or white vinyl). Cheaper than painting and a nice contrast.

Headliners are expensive, like around $350 for a complete one I think.. without checking catalogues. Does it need paint to match the color of your car? I guess it doesn't matter if the paint was perfect if it didn't match your car, but I would still expect to pay more for a top that had paint in very good condition, even if was the wrong color for my car.

A nice hardtop in average to above average condition should be $600-$1000. I have a very nice (above average) one I would not let go for less than $800.

Depending on location and condition, you could see $1000 asking price for some hardtops. Check out my sig pic for my original vinyl covered hardtop.

Got mine on ebay for $250 + shipping. Crate and shipping from Cal was another $200 + . It had decent paint (wrong color) and avg. headliner, and good stainless trim and glass. Find one close to home to save on shipping. I have seen them in abbundance at the Houston Vette show over the years. Asking prices of $750 to $1k, but I would imagine that cash talks.
