Vette(s): 1972 conv., sunfire yellow, blk interior, blk vinyl and convertible top. Off frame restoration with American Speed 383 stroker engine producing 500hp plus a 200hp NOS system. MSD ignition. Hooker super competition headers with chambered exhaust.

Just wondering if anyone here is in or near Ft. Myers, FL. There's  an item on ebay that I'd like to bid on just for the stainless trim on it but I can't tell by the pics if it's  any better than what I have.

I would be more than happy to pay someone that lives close by to  check this out for me.

Only ones with removable hardtops Joel.  Now do you see why I would like for someone to check this item out?

Joel, I need the stainless molding that goes around the edge of the hardtop. (outside) It's 3 pieces....front piece comes around the front  and is attached by a clip to the side pieces that run around the window openings and back down to the base of the top.

This is all I found on Paragon..IS this it?

Looks like it to me. The "U" in the # indicates a used part. Paragon also has a division that deals with used/nos parts.(Paragon Vintage) If you call(or e-mail/"contact us") & ask, they'll send an e-mail with pics, and an honest description of the part for you.

I found a guy in Texas that has these parts. Front (used) $275...side (NOS) $425 ea.  Couldn't find the clips that connect the pieces anywhere. Are those clips the same as the clips on a T-top?

I don't think that top in Fl will go to $800....I emailed the guy but no reply as of now.

WOW!!! I knew they would be pricy, but.... DANG!! I don't think the clips you need would be on a t-top, but I'm not 100%sure on that one.
