I used this company for my 1973 Eldorado Convertible and the quality was very good. They sell a Ferrari 360 and 430 kits with all the elastic straps and cables for 2699.00 USD.

 

Which company Bigilo?

 

There web site is convertibletopguys.com

 

If your in southern California there's a company that does the whole top custom made to factory specs for about 2250 installed. Not bad if you ask me. And looks factory too.

 

What company would that be? Please share info with us.

 

Who's the Company?
THANKS

 

Sorry for not seeing this post.

the company is called
Rich and Famous in Van Nuys, CA

My canvas had wholes on top and the rear screen was turning yellow.
They re-did my top canvas in one week. They remove your old one and remake it to spec and install it. I'm not sure I got wholesale pricing as I went through a body shop but was about 2250 installed. So far 1 year and no problem with it.

 

If you're in LA, I recommend Prestige Upholstery, or Harry's Auto Tops in West LA, across from BH Ferrari

 

That's a great price

 

I have been researching this with a view toward replacing my top within the next year. Here's a few bullets on what I've found out:

-The overwhelming choice for a replacement top is one made by GAHH. I got this from several installers, including the one Ferrari of San Diego uses. The GAHH top comes with new cables and springs sewn in and new elastic straps. (There are six elastic straps, which are critical to proper operation - good pics of these in the workshop manual)

-Prices are all over the place, even for the same item. The range I have seen is $1800 - $3500. I found eight manufactures who fabricate the top. There are probably more since the pattern is out there. According to my installer, some are truly junk and about impossible to install. So beware the $1600 Ebay special. (I queried five Ebay sellers and only one would provide the manufacturers name.)

-Cabrioworld, a site sponsor, has the best price for a GAHH top that I found at $2003.00. By contrast, Convertible Top guys sells for $2700 and Duetto Motors is $2900.

-Figure 10-12 hours labor for the installation, so about $1000 in these parts. This from the top manufacturer and several installers.

-After I get this done, I'll take the car to the shop to thoroughly ring out the top and verify proper operation. This seems like the thing to do since you have just changed a lot of the forces working on this, e.g. cables, springs, elastic straps and new fabric.

Hope this helps.
