Good for you! Is it a Pininfarina top?
It looks like it's in very good shape.

yes it is a pinnifarina top. it needs some minor fiberglass work along the rear edge. the rubber is shot at the door openings. but the top besides the color is in good shape. someone painted it lt blue, my car is red so there will be some correction. if anyone has any idea what is under the vinyl covering. im hoping to remove that and sand and paint the top car color

I was thinking your car was red. Blue would be sort of an odd color over it. :lol:

It should be just fiberglass. I've seen people sand it and paint it.
You can get the door seals from Danny at Fun Imported Auto in Connecticut.

Nice find, I'm jealous! "The Mistress" has been hinting that she wants a hard top for Christmas. I had to remind her that she has a lot of other more pressing needs before we start buying pretty hats.

I sold one very cheap,to someone from this forum.I felt I would never use it,but looking back I probably should have held onto it.
