Thank you for posting.

These remind me of a set of AM Tops from decades ago.

Not surprised at the current bid, they don't come along to often these days.

Curious to see what they sell for.

I have a set of the AM tops, pretty much look the same as those.

Not the most attractive thing on the car but will keep you dry if need be. I sometimes take them with me in the fall when I know the drive home will be cooler that the drive out

If you insist on the T-Top look, I get it. There are a number of corvette companies which sell the C3 Corvette rani coat. Do a google search. The one thing I don't like is the fact you have install Velcro to the top of the windshield frame to secure the front section.

There's currently 2 am top auctions running on ebay.

One for hundreds less than the pair that just sold, and another for a single top.

You hardly ever see them listed, then in 1 week there are 3 auctions.

would luv a set for the odd times if get caught out, or need to leave car for a short while.....
i usually carry the t-tops on the luggage rack bracket, but it's awkward when you want to fill up....

The rear "pin" is changeable to suit the different styles, problem is it's easy to make the later "pin" as I needed to but harder to make the triangle receivers needed for the earlier ones.

There was someone else who had a set of them and also needed the early style fittings, strange thing is I think they were in Australia...

Here's the pins, mine came with the triangle ones but I needed to make the later bullets for my setup

Yes I still have my set Mooser, but they are on the shelf to be restored if I can ever get a set of the early rear pins :-(

Would happily buy your spare set if you decide to part with them.

Default TopLogic Folding T tops

Well I got the tops and they are pretty cool and they fit well. I'm not sure that I'd dive with them on and the front plastic latch certainly is the weak link but overall they will cut. Its still pretty cold here in MA and I think a few hours out in the sun will do these some good. Here are some pics...
