Wanted Texas: Looking for 1970ish FJ40 hard top

[Sparkman86]

Vehicle Model

1. 40 Series

Location

United States

Preference would be rust-free or close to it in red (i think this is Seminole Red in 1970?). I have the rear lift gate already but dont mind purchasing complete. Looking for everything else: sides, fiberglass top, rear hatch crossbar support, etc.

Willing to drive a bit for the right one.

Yeah, I'm interested. Any chance you have a picture of it? Just the fiberglass top, right? No sides or supports?

If it ever stops raining, I'll get the pics

I have friend in NV with a green, 1974 top, complete, that he wants to sell. I considered taking the top off the Karma Cruiser and driving up there to get it, but the fiberglass is separating from the rain gutter, and I don’t think it will survive the drive back.

I might be interested in that if you don't end up taking it. Do you know what kind of condition it's in? Hoping to avoid welding and rebuilding if possible.

I have a red top off what I believe to be a 72 in the Phoenix area. Top, sides, rear hatch/header and front doors.

Definitely interested in this. Could you send me some pictures of it? What kind of shape is it in?

It's been torn apart for a long time. Came on my 73 FST I bought in 1994. Cruiser been off the road since 1988. When the PO put the hard top on I'm not sure. It obviously came from Missouri. The hatch has a dealer's plague. It's a actually metal plaque. Cap fiberglass was in good shape but gutter was rusted. I picked the gutter off and 84 troopy that was wrecked. It had some damage but was rust free. Hatch header has some rust on the ends. Hatch and side are fine. It has yellow plugs from some type of rust proofing was added. As I remember the front door headers are still attached to pieces of the gutter. Unfortunately the front doors were cut and speakers added. Those are in good shape as well as far as rust. Dated as a 72 by window weatherstripping and lack of a fixed nut in the hard top side for three point seat belts. Been 110° plus here lately. Sides doors, hard top sides, hatch with header door headers are not that hard to get to compared to the cap. If you interested can get pictures of everything but cap.
