    I'm looking to purchase a used one, and I found someone who has a used 328 roof in good condition. But, I wanted to make sure that it was the same roof, and that they fit the same. I'm planning on having it painted body color to give it that GTB look...

    Yes Wayne, the tops would be interchangeable. All the hardware is the same. The biggest difference will be in the headliner on the inside of the top.
    We have several used tops available. Is there a particular year/material you would like to match?

    Apparently not true! The roof I just received from you guys does not fit my 1979 GTS! The front part of the roof is molded completely different.

    The blue arrow points to the ledge on my roof, the green arrow points to the ledge on the roof you guys sent me. It's much thicker at the edges, and as a result does not fit my car.

    So Wayne at Pelican Parts owns a Ferrari.

    That's HERESY!!!

    I was a longtime Porsche owner and have bought from Pelican before. Thankfully not much as my cars ran WELL!!! :)

    But, like the other guy asked, is Pelican going to get into Ferrari Parts??

    That's a great look. The problem is painting the sills to match the rest of the car - I was hoping to get away with just the roof, in case they messed it up.

    Anyways, seems that Ferrari modified the roofs in the later years to accomodate an updated roof seal. Earlier roofs need to be modified as well. I am thinking that I may keep this roof and do the mod, since the headliner is correct. I will post pics if I indeed decide to do it.
