Nice old school color and hardtop to boot.

I didn't know anyone was making them any longer (2015 by Vintage Speedsters of Hawaiian Gardens, are these the guys that are still open?) so the dream of a Super Widebody, hardtop, Subie lives

I can't believe no one has a comment on this hard top 356?
It looks very sharp if somewhat unremarkable other than this cool factor
It looks like a Plasticon top.
I would kind of like to have one but the expense and trouble filling is dissuading me.
In the past Rusty Tubs (or whatever they were called) sold a version called Plastikon (note the k) made to fit our replicas.
It's a 4-lug Kirk-n-Mary Vintage, with the a swing-axle and the Vintage hardtop and A/C. It's at $45K with 3 days left.
Holy Cow.
@Stan Galat, it looks like you edited out your Glaspar reference. Glaspar tops had a side opening that extended to the rear of the door opening.

They did, which is why I deleted it, then reposted. I didn't open the auction link before replying, and my eyes were playing tricks on me.
I had a Glaspar on a 2002 JPS.
Very nice, clean car, well presented by a responsive seller. A/C and the hard top have got some folks excited.
One nice thing about hardtops is the additional interior room vs. the typical Speedster soft top. Mine worked well but at the time I had no headliner and it was noisy. Good extended weather protection too and was nice with the heat inside with the Soob engine.
Beautiful car, love the color. I have heard that the hard-top thing really is a custom arrangement, as a good fit can't be done as one size fits all. The replicas' shapes from here or there vary some, and even all from same maker don't always come out the same all around. So I was told once. It's a cool idea, and I have no idea about cost or PITA to R&R, let alone store. and . . . love me some beehives.
Greg at Vintage Motorcars of California Inc. Did this one for me a few years ago. 
Auction closes today, still at $45,000, should heat up a bit later
That seems like it was a pretty good deal.
It was an excellent deal. That was a $50k+ Speedster for sure. Worst time of year to be selling a Speedster!

@Troy Sloan nice car Troy. Did you enjoy it for sometime?

No, I did not have it long and I never drove it after the hardtop was installed. The person I sold it to wanted the hardtop and a louvered deck lid, so I arranged for that work with Greg.
