Came across a factory steel hardtop for a TR3. What's a price range and should I snag it? My brother has a TR3 and may be able to use it.

Data points:
1. I sold a decent, straight and complete hardtop needing minor rust repair and new window gaskets, etc., for $200 this spring.
2. In 2002, I saw a solid one (albeit without rear window) go unsold at a VTR convention.
So I guess it's a matter of where the hardtop is and when it hits the market, i.e., who's looking that day/week/month. I'd think one ready to fit to a car ought to go at least $400-500, but....

What is a steel TR-3 hardtop worth? Mallard gave me one a couple of years ago. I think as friends we traded TR-3 parts for TR-3 parts. Thanks Mallard. So it probably cost me nothing. I had to have it painted ($500.), then I bought a new back window and had to have it installed ($250.), Then to install it on my car, I needed the mounting hardware from TRF ($200.), not including my labor I figure that I have $1,000. invested in my hardtop. Is it worth it? Yes, it transformed my car into a TR-3GT, it stands out among other nice TR-3s, changes the look of the car. Very neat accessory for any TR-3. The price of used hardtops is determined by how bad you want one. The key to buying one is the brackets and mounting hardware. My best guess is $250. to $500. for a steel hardtop, later original fiberglass hardtops $100 to $300. Good Luck, Bill C. Mesa, Az.

There are only a couple of LBC that I think look good with a hard top, TR3, XKE and TR6. The price range $200 - $400 I bought mine from Paul Oglesby in Madisonville, KY 8 years ago for $250, add back light from Moss UK $235 and hardware from TRF $200 and paint $250. And yes you should do it!
