I have a '77 with a manual '83 top; means there's one less '83 cab running around...

Actually, I saw pix of the car my top came from. No idea why it was junked - the body looked fine from the pix.

Manual top on my '83.

What are the 83's going for? Porsche Market Letter has them from about 10K to 22K depending on condition and how highly the seller thinks of his car. I would say average is in the 12-13k range.

I've seen 88 with a manual top - no 89's though. I was looking for a manual top - My wrench recommended it and after reading some horror stories, glad he did.
