Wow, you must be doing some serious research, thanks, I will check it out on my way home from work tomorrow and maybe I will give 'em a shot. There are unfortunately, a lot of overzealous cruiser-heads around here and I don't know if it would be worth wasting a day to watch them go for way too much.
Thanks for the link.

Hey Kief, if you check it out let me know if there are any OEM soft top bows laying around there.

Dig, dig, dig....................you never know what you'll find.
If you manage to get a deal, keep me in mind.

I kind of went by for the extra early preview, Ok, so I got the date wrong. No killer early bows, pretty much three hacked up rigs, one of the three was stripped, tubs all rough, one was pretty bad with rough and rust, but a good top, the one most complete had an after market top, newer, miscellaneous early parts but nothing worth driving across the country. Depending on how they brake it up or not a good deal may be had. The auctioneer doing this sale is good at getting rediculous prices for junk. Did see a pto winch... in pieces. One looked like it had the v8 robbed out of it, no motors on any. Quite a bunch of boogerization going on.
I wonder if any of them have titles?
If anyone is planning on coming to it shoot me a pm - maybe we can team up for the junk we want.

Well, I came home happy and empty handed. The sunny weather kept the prices high, the blue and red one went for 11-1200, the orange one went for $700 and the red one without a WS frame installed went for 425. I almost bit on it as it had the pto stuff and the winch w/out the supports and misc. went for $55 and I knew the guy bidding against me. 541 479 5500 is where it will end up. Jon's cruiser-parts. I couldn't get the auctioneer to say whether or not they actually had titles, they just kind of mumbled about having to go check.. then the bids started. I will watch the papers and look for someone selling a parts rig. It was fun to see people bidding who had no clue what they were getting into.
