Most expensive hard top ever! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

2wdBlazer · 01-02-2007, 12:14 PM

Someone actually bid on it. Maybe they think they are getting the Blazer?

Looks like it latches real well with the string holding the rear hatch closed. Doesn't say whether it is a single- or double-wall top either. That bidder is going to be POed but you have to read the description!

Critter · 01-02-2007, 01:55 PM

I saw that auction. Someone is going to be PISSED when they realize what they bid on. Maybe I should put my cracked double-wall P.O.S. up there with a $900 reserve!

cstanley · 01-02-2007, 02:33 PM

i wonder how big his pinky finger is...

1969k10stepside · 01-02-2007, 02:36 PM

Is it me or is the font smaller than usual on that auction than they usually have on ebay auctions?

I think you'd have to pay someone to take that thing off your hands there Terry. Ha, just giving you a hard time. I'm still waiting for you to call me when you need a hand removing that thing so you can be TOPLESS.

Removing it isn't the problem. Putting it some place (other than the garbage) is where I have problems. Can I store it at your place?

Yeppers, I posted this in the "EEBHF" section after I saw it

You can store it in that dumpster right next to my apartment building anytime you like.

read the feedbackon the bidder...

cstanley · 01-03-2007, 11:25 PM

what do they call that, when you jack up your own auctions?

ClassicJimmy · 01-04-2007, 10:37 PM

Its a double wall top. I emailed him. Only interested cuz of it local. I have a rough single wall, but the hatch is broke in three pieces. I have the glass, but I don't know if anything else is salvageable. Has anyone bought the hatch from Brothers? Fit? Function? Cost is a little steep, but might be worth it - let me know please.

badchev69 · 01-05-2007, 03:07 AM

I live like 20 miles from this guy... i should get ahold of him and go look at this top made of gold.... with moss growing on it

no seriously i think i might. this could be too good of an adventure to pass up on

As far as the Brothers hatch.. i think if you have the money to spend it would almost be worth not having to deal with a so so hatch you find on craigslist.. mine was perfect as far as structure goes but i think i broke every other bolt in it when i was taking it apart to clean up and paint.

nothing a drill and tap didnt fix, just alot of wasted time.

2wdBlazer · 01-05-2007, 09:44 AM

That top is a joke for $1500. I have one in Florida I don't even use. Just keep looking.

Angelse68cal · 01-05-2007, 10:57 PM

DOes anyone know where I can get a set of rear Lift gate Sliders? The ones that hold it up when opening.

Angelse68cal · 01-05-2007, 10:58 PM

I bought the rear Hatch From brothers. It is pretty nice. It just put a big bent in my wallet.
