I just lost an auction for a saratoga top on ebay!
The guy who one bid $1334.00! I think I'll get the a/c fixed, and recover, CORRECTLY, my own targa top instead. Damn, those things go for a pretty penny!

For something that fit poorly,leaked and generally was a magnet for scratches?
Consider yourself lucky.... |

I have an oem hard top on my targa that i paid $1200.00 for . I guess i should feel lucky, i got it before the rush. Although it has gone up in value drastically, i don't think i would sell at all. Soft top targas go tinkel , bang, rattle- rattle- hard top targas go swooosh!!!!! jerry JMPRO

I have a Saratoga top on my 72 911T. Best thing I have ever bought for the car. I was bidding on one on Ebay a few months ago and it got into 4 figures too. Picked mine up from an ad in the Panorama classifieds for $700.00 I believe. If you get a nice one, you won't regret it. The only problems I have is it won't fit in the trunk with my setup (junk in the trunk)and I get tired of wiping the handprints off after I go out.

If they go for that kind of money then it looks like an opportunity for some entepreneur to have a small batch of the things made. How big is the market out there?

Hey Racer, I thought you were going to turn our parts supply off. Now you want to manufacture parts for us??

I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON REPRODUCING THE HARD TOP FOR T-CARS. IT IS TO EXPENSIVE TO DO WITH A PRODUCT WITH THIS SMALL A MARKET. THE TOOL COSTS, HARDWARE, RUBBER SEALS,MARKETING,ALL MAKE A HIGH $ PART AND YOU CAN'T PUT OUT A CHEAP PRODUCT , THE BBS JUNKIES WOULD TEAR YOU UP. A COMPROMISE MAY BE A FIBERGLASS COVER FOR A TARGA FRAME, BUT THAT WOULD REQUIRE SOME SKILL TO INSTALL. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR OVER A YEAR AND STILL NO SOLID ANSWERS -- ANY THOUGHTS?
