Only thing I can think of is maybe repairing it and just painting it body color and forget about see through?

The thing must have hit a branch on the way down because the interior trim plastic was smashed, I had to replace that. Otherwise, not a scratch on the glass, no breakage, and I still own that car to this day with that top. 
(I checked a lot closer from that time forward and NEVER let anyone else install the tops again).

The top lens in held on to the frame with the same 3M epoxy that the inner fender and wheel house are. The epoxy cost under $50 and the gun to apply it cost about $60.
I used to see the lens on eBay for around $200 but I'm not sure if they are still available.
I'm going to agree with the others on it being a usable core
I would be curious about how it got that way. My guess is it was a flying top ant who knows what else may have been damaged. It could have been run over by traffic and bent.
Don't ask me how I know about these.
