    Mine is cracked there, but it really isn't a problem. As long as you are careful it just isn't an issue - depending on the size of course.

    I would say mine are cracked at the pins about "average" if you can imagine something along those lines.

    Yep. Same reason that Ferrari exists and has been so successful.

    $6500. How much would it cost to custom make one?

    Never one to shy at crazy projects I am having a regular targa top being converted to a sun roof sort of top. Due to the structure which has a support running down the middle we will be placing two smoked glass windows in the top. I chose glass because storing it behind the seat might scratch it if it were of a softer material. The issue at present is the size of the windows. Too big and you need curved glass. I will post final cost when done. Oh, I would add that this is not my original idea. Somewhere here on fchat I saw a picture of one and it stuck in my mind as feasible and looks good when the Saratoga tops went into really silly numbers.

    $1000 and with NO reserve.....

    This one might actually tell the world what the real, fair market value is for these if it sells !

    Someone may actually get a good deal too !

    Well, actually not yet, Patrick: no bid registered for the time being...but still 9 days 11 hours left, that's plenty of time to reach new heights (??)

    I'm in and I'm the "newbie" here!

    If someone like helion.todd can make them I will be the guinea pig- i.e. I will will ship my top to you for specs/ design. As I own a The UPS Store, so I will take care of shipping in and out!

    Just not at Ebay prices! Having the headroom alone would be worth $1500. to me, but not $10,000. lol

    I picked mine up from a fellow fchatter about 2 years back. I'm 6'2 and yes the additional headroom is worth every penny. Even the claustrophobia becomes a nonissue with the Saratoga top. Now driving on those sunny cold days is like a dream ;)

    I think the one they mention that "sold on ebay" was me. That's about what I paid for mine and when I bought it.

    I'm happy. I really like it and it doesn't get "hot" in the summer like I was afraid of.

    At roughly $2500 with 8 days to go. This is an interesting one - late production so underside frame is padded but with scratch and no storage bag. Hopefully scratch will buff out with a little polishing compound. Seller said scratch looks worse than it actually is due to camera flash.

    Other Saratoga on eBay looks like a nice one. Earlier production and has bag. Will be interesting to see where the pricing settles.

    That first one went for less than I'd imagined....$3,716, when compared to asking prices on most of them.

    Answer is 3,050.00 $; the market has spoken. Somebody was smart and has got a good deal.
