68-75 Corvette Convertible Top Mechanism Assembly Bows 69 70 71 72 73 74 on 2040-parts.com
Bozeman, Montana, United States
I am sorry that this is too large to ship to my customers outside of the USA using Priority Mail from the United States Postal Service. I can use FedEx Ground to ship it to Los Angeles where it can be included as a partial shipment in a large sea container going to almost any country in the world.This listing is for a complete convertible top assembly from a 1968-1975 Corvette convertible. It is in exceptionally nice used condition except for the black cover that will need to be replaced with one of the color you want to match your car. I bolted it to a pair of scrap 2x6's to make it appear as it does on the car so you can better see how nice it really is.The header front inner panel has a break behind the center latch as you can see in the last photo of this listing. One could repair that panel on the upper side using fiberglass to reinforce the joint. I think it would be more cost and timeefficient to buy the replacement panel Eckler's Corvette. Their part number is 25-120735-1 and the price is only $89.95. Isuspect other Corvette parts suppliers have this as well. I am surprised that there are none listed here on eBayconsidering how fragile that part is.This is not the typical corroded and moldy top assembly that was removed from a wreck after it had been outside in a wet climate for a few years. This has been stored inside here in relatively dry Montana in a car collector's parts inventory for many years. Please remember that much of Montana receives only about 12 inches of total precipitation (including both rain and snow) per year. Some places in this country receive more than that per month for many months of the year.You can see how nice most of the original black paint still is even though the bows have some chips on them. The chrome plating is still in excellent condition on both of the rear bow latches and all three of the front header latches. As you can see where the top of the top cover has been removed, the felt padding on the tops of the bows is still very nice and will not need to be replaced. There is some very light surface rust on the weld nuts that hold the chrome plated front header latches in place as you can see in the last photo of this listing.All of the joints move just as they did when new and are not seized up or stiff at all. This top mechanism will be easy to restore. One only has to repaint the steel parts, replace the header front inner panel and install a new top cover assembly.I have a lot of friends in the collectible car, truck, tractor, sign and toy hobbies. One of them may be able to safely and very economically deliver this assembly to you depending on where you live and how soon you want this.I will not ship this assembly in any kind of cardboard box because it will be very likely damaged if it is shipped that way. I can have a local friend build a good wood shipping box for $75 if need be. This top assembly could then be safely shipped most economically using FedEx Ground from Federal Express.If you have a 1968-1975 Corvette convertible that needs a top assembly, you might do well by giving some very serious thought to purchasing this exceptionally nice original top assembly. Thanks a lot, Bob Woodburn - phone 406-799-1847 in Bozeman Montana USA |
