I've got a Saratoga top from my '71 I've had since the mid to late 70's I want to sell. I have someone interested and have NO idea what it's worth. Still have original shipping box and it is in good shape considering age.
None on ebay etc... someone has one for a 944 though. Any ideas?? |

They are a huge project I do plan to complete. They probably take up 5% of my shop space, so yes I have not given up on them, but really there has not been that much demand. I did a run of 12, with another 5 after that. I have enough material to do another 5 on hand, but they take about 20 hours each to finish. I haven't been able to break off that much time. So yes, they are right around the corner. If I had 5 guys that said yes I want them, it would put more weight into that project and make me complete them. They would be about $1000 each complete.

If I had 5 guys that said yes I want them, it would put more weight into that project and make me complete them. They would be about $1000 each complete. If the good Dr doesn't want to sell me his, I'd be in for 1. sorry I have not gotten back to you about this, I have been pretty busy and forgot, I will send you a few pictures because there are a couple minor flaws that I will have to point out. I know the tops mark will be doing new will have a better fit and finish that the first run of the I am sure. There are always improvements on things like this froma production standpoint, version 1, vs version 2or 3. I am a bit conflicted as to whether or not I want to sell it but I have 3 tops in my garage, my original one that is pristine condition, and one that the PO painted body color and put a pop up moon roof into it( I actually like this one for hot days here as it keeps my head from being fried but lets lots of air move thru better) and the WAS/Saratoga. Almost sold it 2 years ago at Okteenerfest , I actually offered it up for sale at $500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) and the guy passed on it(I think we paid $750 on the group buy plus shipping) I am glad he didn't buy it as I think its worth keeping if I cant sell it for more than that. But you will like having one I think, they do not have the same thermal effect as those glass tops. and they are very light. PHil |
