Default Need some assistance

My brother recently passed away and while going through some of his possessions I came across this top:






Not sure what car it belonged to since he owned several, but he did have a '75 coupe and a '76 coupe both orange
so I'm thinking that is what it was made for.

No part number on it, so I'm thinking after market. Also there was a bag of hardware with it. Measures 43" by 28".

Anyway, what I need the assistance on is if anyone could help with maybe a value, and if there is any demand
for this type of product.

Thank you in advance

Hi sorry to hear about your brother.

The top is an aftermarket item called an Astrotop it does away withe the t-tops.

I think they are about a couple of hundred dollars new.

As for demand you either like them or hate them,myself i'm not to keen on them mainly because the brackets used i think are dangerous.
