    For sale a rare Saratoga targa top for 308 and 328 GTS. Was in storage for many years. In good shape, does have a few scratches.
    General info on Saratoga tops from an older thread:
    "Saratoga Sunroof Company (AKA Ferrigan-O'Brien Inc) of Clifton Park, NY made smoked acrylic targa tops for Porsche, Fiat, and Corvettes in the 1980's. They built about 100 tops for the Ferrari 308 using a better material - General Electrics's Lexan. A production run was discontinued and the molds and jigs were discarded. It was much more profitable for Saratoga to make tops for the Porsche 911's. Paul Ferrigan negotiated directly with Porsche to sell his Saratoga tops in Porsche dealerships across the USA. And the Corvette top business was brisk too. So Ferrari biz was forgotten!

    This top has a light but sturdy square fiberglass frame in the same general style as the original Ferrari top. The interior side of the frame is covered by soft molded rubber trim. The outside of the top is covered by a bonded oven contoured Lexan piece (same shape as factory Ferrari top) with rain strips on each side as the Ferrari top had. It has window side weatherstripping like the Ferrari top. It uses Ferrari latches to secure the rear, pins to secure the front to the windshield frame. The top is light and gives some extra headroom over the stock Ferrari top. The Lexan is smoked and from my experience doesn't let the interior get too hot from the extra light. It does make the car feel more roomy and it's nice to see the scenery through the top. It fit well on my 308 and didn't leak or squeak. This top always gets lots of attention from Ferrari owners (most think it's a glass top). Size is about 41 wide x 25 length x 2 high inches.

    GE's Lexan is 30 times stronger than plexiglass acrylic and 100 times more shatter proof than safety glass. It will not warp, crack, heat check or fade like plexiglass. It can be polished easily with McGuire's plastic polish by hand. This is one of a very few aftermarket accessories that were made for the 308 back in the day. They are highly sought after and if you're looking for the ultimate accessory this is it. Due to the complex Lexan curves, the expensive Ferrari latches, and D.O.T. legal red tape, rumored remanufacturing of these for retail sale will never happen again. Saratoga was the only manufacturer of these Ferrari tops. The U.S. patent number was 4220368, you can research it online."

    Asking $10,900 for the top. Local (Long Island, NY) inspection and pick up preferred, however I can ship it worldwide in a wooden crate. PM me if you'd like close up photos of the top.
