Aother Good Looking HardTop

...oompa loompa, doopady doo...my Speedster's top is too low for you...

I'm pretty sure that's the top the owner made by using the roof from a VW Bug.

Pretty interesting profile.

With all my years of body shop follies including chopping a number of VW tops it takes three Beetle roofs and some serious English wheel time to be able to get the geometry correct and assume one would be in the same pickle ( and much beer)  to get this to look correct on a speedster.

This is Ollies car

I test drove this car back in 2014 when I was first looking. Car was / is an early IM. Had an 1835 which leaked a wee bit.  Came with a nice tonneau. Those are original EMPI wheels. The top was a Plasticon. It's no longer with us. Flew off the car while it was in transit to its new owner and disintegrated on the highway.

Well, that just sucks......

I've got that identical Plasticon top. It's difficult to tell from the photos but it has an odd 'streamlined' shallow hump -that originally served no purpose- just above the center of the rear window. That hump may possibly be cleverly used to house a string of LED's as a third stop light...something for me to think about as a future project.

And yes, Ollie's top is from a Beetle roof. In an old thread he documented its fabrication. 

Carl - Add 4 red LEDs, a backup camera (to a GPS unit) and a shark fin antenna above the bump.
