I’m curious – why do you want a hardtop?

I'd love to buy a correct hardtop for my '75 TR6...if I can find one that I can afford. I will repaint it so color and finish is unimportant. I even have a new, unopened convertible top that I can offer in trade.

I agree with all of this. I love the look of the hardtop, yet don't use it. I had my rear deck repainted. I put the hartop on shortly after. The VERY FIRST TIME I removed the top, a good friend helped. I emphasized picking it up higher at the rear so the deck wouldn't get scratched. Oh well. Scratched it is. Again.

Bud – 

    The rear deck panel was the first area I had to have touched up after I bought the car back in 1989.  My top actually seemed to seal pretty well especially around the windows.  It definitely stiffened the car up – less scuttle shake, less twisting over bumps.  But it’s a convertible… that’s why the hardtop hasn’t been on the car in over 31 years.

One of the ways your TR6 will be transformed is the potential for scratches on the rear deck panel from the hard top riding on that rear panel. I quickly got rid of my hardtop because of that problem. You can try to protect the paint will a barrier of sorts but then the hardtop won't seal properly. The hardtop does make the TR6 look like a cool GT car but it is a semi permanent with pluses and minuses and the rear deck may suffer.

Any top in fair condition should bring easily $1,000. Any original top with transform a TR-6 in many ways.

    A friend is looking at an OEM hardtop for his TR6 – Any idea what these are going for these days? 

I’ve not seen any for sale recently except for those crappy fiberglass ones (Parrish? $450  - $700) but 

he’s not interested in one of those. I understand that condition of the top will dictate the price but 

he’s looking for a ballpark figure. Thanks.
