I'm looking to buy new or used t-tops for our 1979 vet. We prefer smoked glass, good condition, w/ all hardware. Anyone know of any?

Best bet is to check on e-bay to see what is available and what the range of prices would be.
New ones can be had from any of the catolog companies, but they are expen$$$ive.

eBay is where I got mine.
Hardly ever used and in excellent condition. They are tops with a 2"-3" border of fiberglass and a transparent smoke center. All they need is a painting to match my car (they were orange, my C3 is white with red accents.)
It took watching and bidding on many an auction watching prices go into the many many hundreds of dollars, but I got these for around $275 including the shipping cost from Canada. In fact, I almost felt bad for the seller because at the time everything else was selling for at least twice as much.
There are bargains to be had if you have the time.
P.S. I also got new t-top weatherstripping on eBay for $40 for the pair. Amazing what you can find on eBay if you are not in a rush.

Try Melrose T-Top International, 1-800-547-0075 or www.melroset-top.com. They are 2+hrs from Lincoln. For used, call Jim Stevens at 1-608-365-0911, tell them your from C-3VR. Dick
We have T-tops which are similar to what you have. We also have new rubber gaskets, but have been told by a body man here in our town that they would probably not fit on our T-tops because the tops are "after market" t-tops. Our t-tops leak, so we need the new gaskets installed or we'll have to buy new t-tops. Who manufactured your t-tops? We cannot find a name of the manufacturer on ours. Our new e-mail address is daveboyd1@verizon.net.
Thank you for your help.
