64-67 Hardtop

[Mike M.]

Have a possible 64-67 hardtop, numbers are as listed in bottom corner of back window: 797 1-1966/72 > 080n. Can anyone tell me anything about the number such as which year this is fitted for? Also, what would be a fair price to ask for this hardtop? paint and stainless are in very good condition, inside is good except for the vinyl being a little loose. Thanks, Mike

Mike, I can't help you with the numbers, but can tell you what I sold my un-needed C2 hardtop for. Sold it 4 years ago for $1K even.

I listed it on fleabay with a starting bid price of $900, or a buy-it-now for $1,000. An out-of-state buyer hit the buy-it-now within a few hours of listing. He drove about 8 to 10 hours and picked it up with a Chevrolet Tahoe that was minus it's rear seat. The hardtop fit inside the Tahoe.

The top was an unrestored original in good, but not superb condition. Hope this helps.
Ridge.

I don't regonize that as a date code, usually there are a letter above the PLEXI logo and one letter below. Maybe it might be good to post a picture.

A far a price, the market has softened, I've seen them go for $500 - 700 recently, along with front end clips, etc for prices you'd never see a couple of years ago.

Mike -- the markings in lower driver side corner should look something like this (off a '66). Reads: PLEXIGLAS (month code) / ACRYLIC / (year code) AS4

Wayne, off a 66 with a E E date code?

E E according to the chart means May 65, seems a little early?

Ron -- my mistake; you are correct. Probably what made me say 1966 (without checking) was the vinyl (not fiberboard) headliner, in very good condition -- almost no sag, even today. When stripping for a mid-90's color change to Goldwood yellow, I found the bottom coat was maroon, followed by Nassau, then red. Who knows, maybe the rear plexiglas was changed ???

This is not the original hardtop off my L30 trim date 1965 car, but it could be with the E month and E year. The original was sold off the car by the dealer "Pierce Auto Sales" of Canton TX, back in 1986. Was bought by a guy from Dallas (so if buyer was replacing headliner and saw crayon job 204, he's got mine ). Amazing how dealers would "flip" parts (hardtops, spare KO wheels, teak) to make a little more profit.
