I would like to know a little more about original AH 3000 hardtops. This is for a nice looking original hardtop for a 2+2 3000. The stamped numbers on the hardtop are 4-0161 followed by four more digits. I assume that the 4 stands for 2+2 seating and that the 0161 indicates a January 1961 manufacture date. I'm thinking that the other four numbers are part of the VIN or body number that this top was originally fitted to. Am I reading these numbers correctly?
The exterior has recent white paint in good condition; the white color should go with most body colors. All hardware looks original and serviceable. The headliner looks original and is in good condition. The original rear window is surprisingly clear. The rubber parts look good, and the only wear visible is on the wind lace on the driver's side, which shows a little thinning or fraying beginning. It likely can be used as is, or the wind lace could be replaced.
What might be a fair or typical price for these hardtops lately?
Thanks in advance.
