e-bay/ Corvette swap meet. Why would you need a hardtop in So.Cal? I live in the Mid-Atlantic and I've only used mine one season in the last 20 + years. I see them on ebay all the time.

Need hard top

This is a driver, and it stays outside, hard top might make winters easier on it outside.

I stumbled on my OE gm hardtop for C3 locally in south Carolina ... a nearby acquaintance overheard me saying I wanted one ... he happened to have one from a car he sold years ago ... it needed all weatherstrip & paint ... latches rusty ... glass & trim AOK ... he delivered it ... I believe the $250 I paid for top was a bit low. Not so heavy but rather large & fragile, I understand truck freight to ship a hardtop can cost a BUNDLE. As said, seen em on ebay ... also check local trader papers & swap meets. Keep those ship costs in mind.
