The black ones a pretty sweet deal even when converted to Canadian funds.

They look like a solid option for those that want the best of both worlds, sad thing is you won’t find very many in canada and you’ll pay a premium usually if you do.

The top with headliner is $3000 unfinished. Looks likes done a good job fitting it, IMS done and good miles. I wonder if you get the convertible top, seems to be missing. Sounds too cheap or a great deal.

Sometimes it's a small world. This car sits at the other end of the building I have my shop in.

The good part - I got the hard top from the car, a brand new convertible top and the mesh inserts from both seats.

WOW.
I’ve never seen a hard top integrate so well into the body lines.
Black one, especially. Looks identical to a Cayman.

Anyone know what that is about ?

Usually, they look horrible like this
