factory half top?
There is a half top on ebay (not mine) that the person listed as factory. I posted the link in the "eVerywhere else but here Finds" section.
I don't think I'm breaking the rules am I? Here is a linked image: |

Re: factory half top?
Not Factory, but highly sought after, it was a aftermarket piece

Re: factory half top?
That looks like it is metal. AFAIK the half tops manufactured were all fiberglass.

Re: factory half top?
Good to know. So this one might not be a home made version...

Re: factory half top?
Montana isn't that far of a drive. Heck, it's the northwest corner of Montana. Looks like it is only about 3 hours past Spokane. Sounds like you need to make a road trip!

Re: factory half top?
I thought that auxilary top was used to list the standard top. I believe that my '69 said that, but that's not how my 72 lists it.
