Rare Half Cab for Trade

[3DAMAN!]

well there is always the "slight" possbility that its OEM but I am pretty darn sure its homemade(or Gozard or similar).....like Orange....never seen a half top like that in any of my lit/parts books or OEM pics.....but its cool

Weren't these tops offered in a SOR or maybe Man-a-free catalog many,many years ago? I'm thinking late 70's or early eighties. Seems like I saw them back in my younger days.

the softop was offered by downey, went through a pile of those old catalogs and didnt find a hardtop but at my age i could have missed it .been driving a cruiser since 71 and other than the ones i made or were made didnt know the factory made them good luck

You like Skiing or snowboarding? Come hit some Montana powder and bring that top with you. I'll trade you mine off of my 67'. You will have to put headliner in it but thats it.

Looks like a cut down 40 top to me, large corner glass, and the lip on the bottom of the rear hatch is still there. Looks good though. John

Sorry did not finish working until late. I have Friday off and will take some more pics. The top is off but I can take pics of the individual parts.

Got busy again and didn't get the pics taken. I have to work Sat, Sun, Mon and Tuesday. But I will take pics on Wednesday.

We ski and 'board. But Montana is a bit far for now. We will be in Washington state in about a year and a half. If I still have it we can meet halfway!

Bump for this top set-up.

Darby is a Great Guy, I have just decided that I need all the room a Full Top provides.

Somebody swap for this thing!

How did I miss this? Dang...

If this falls through, I could probably use it. It would need to be delivered to ChulaJuana...

I'll check and see if it will work for the rig I'm building.

Sold!
