1997 Arctic Silver Hardtop wanted
 

Looking for a 1997 Artic Silver Hardtop in Northern California area if anyone knows of one.

Thanks

Try eBay, you find them there now and then. I was looking for one here (at the forum) myself for my '99, never was able to find one. Later decided I really didn't want one after all.

I think I saw one for sale over the PPBB.com recently, not sure if it is still for sale. Can't recall for sure, but I think it was AS.

EDIT: It's an Ocean Blue, but you can paint these things you know. This one is in California.

Thanks...I'll check out cost of painting. Thought I read somewhere that for 1997 it has to be specifically for a 97...tops for 98 and above won't work. Did I make that up or have any ideas???
ps thanks for the ppbb.forum info, will keep my eye on that one

I am not really sure which model year hardtops fit on a '97. I kind of thought they were all interchangeable over several model years, but maybe not with the '97. I really don't know.

Used to live in Petaluma, worked in Santa Rosa. Lovely part of California, some nice roads up there for the Boxster! Have fun!

thanks for the feedback...I was a So California gal...grew up in So Pasadena, moved up in 1982 and yes I do love it up here. Some nice roads indeed.

new to the porsche world and am enjoying immensly. There actually quite a few gals up here with boxsters!

tks

I have a 1997 silver hard top. Used it for 2 weeks in 5 years but I am going to keep it.

Any year top will fit on a 1997. The only difference with a 1997 is it has "ears" on the side for mounting the old version of the RTS. When Porsche changed the way the RTS mounted in 1998 the ears we eliminated from the 1998 up tops. If you do not have the old version RTS then any year is good for your 1997. Jeff
