Fiberglass tonneau -- any interest before I toss this thing?

This came from the Route 30 Classics guy in Oregon. I thought it would work on my car, and it probably would with a little light work. It's said to be 30 or so years old, but I really don't think this has been on the road at all. More likely, it sat in a shop on a car or was used as a prototype. I dunno.
It's in great shape, and I will now not be using it. My Thunder Ranch headrests will sit on sheet aluminum formed to the contour of the hump and subframe, rather than have to butcher this thing to try to make it work.
I can take more detail shots, but I just want to see who's interested before I toss this mug or stick it in the attic never to be seen again.
I spent $400 on it. I'll take half that and suck up shipping.

Cory,
Would you have a better picture of how it looks sitting on the car ?
Where does the "hump" line up? with the steering wheel ?

It lines up with the center of the hump on the dash. There will be better images when I leave work tomorrow morning; I have two rolls of film to drop at the lab.
They'll be up by Saturday. Meanwhile, I'll see what I've got archived. These shots are the only other ones I have electronically.

Gone!
I had no idea that thing was such a hot commodity.
I'll keep a lookout for more, but this one has left the building.
Cheers.

If you located another one I would be a buyer. thank you

Maybe a mould?

Cory,

From NOW ON . . . no matter WHAT. When EVER you have something for sale, just email me first ! ! !

I want first dibs on all your stuff, and will most likely by it from you right then and there. If not, and THAT'S unlikely, then you can post it here for sale.

OK ? ! ?

Got it straight ? ?

ME FIRST . . . then the rest of these mokes.

Looking forward to you next email,

TC

Try David Salvato's file, he had one of those on his car when he sold it.....

Roger that, TC.
'Cept I'm almost out of stuff!
Oh, and hey, I got the seats in. Since your interest was on hold until now, I thought I'd perk it again.
Here's the moment the decision to sell the tonneau was made and a first look at the seats.
:)

A Russ Clein in Danbury, CT had fiberglass hump touneau covers for sale a while ago. He indicated he had the molds for them. His phone # was 860-354-0709.

Cory, I see that you changed your seats, would you be interested in selling the old black ones you have in one of your pics?

If I still had them, I'd ship them to you in a heartbeat.
Unless TC wanted them, natch'rally.
They were torn and rotted out just looking at them. I have no idea what condition the fiberglass was in (couldn't have been good), so they went to the dump. The rails were badly off, too.
No socially redeeming value left in them.
Sorry.

Whoa Pardner . . . from now on you don't SELL anything, OR throw anything away, before emailing me ! ! ! Understand ? ! ? ! ? !

Do you REALLY see $900.00 worth of difference between these:

and the ones that you pitched into the dump?

OK . . . maybe some seat covers, leather or not, doesn't matter really. Possibly some slight reinforcing done to the fiberglass buckets. But I just don't see a thousand dollars (give or take) worth of difference.

So . . . NEW DEAL, first dibs on EVERYTHING . . . got it ? ! ? ! ? !

That said, when are those crappy door panels comin' my way?

Seriously, don't throw Speedster stuff away. Offer it to the gang here first. We can ALWAYS use spares or can hold onto it until someone else need them.

"One mans meat is another mans poison"
I know what I was looking at, that way I asked about them. Real speedster seats are crazy expensive (see TC). I'm looking for knock-offs. All 'glass can be fixed and anything can be recovered.
such is life.
Thanks,
bryan

TC, man, I didn't know any better. I bought some early 911 seats to put in their place, then sold the place with the garage, blah, blah, blah.
I got next to nothing for the seats from the 911, too. I'm really not cut out to be a merchant, it seems. I'd be in business to lose money.
I put the crappy seats back in because summer was coming two years ago, then tossed those this winter when I got back from the war. I didn't even think about it.
I got the present JEGs seats 'cuz the jalopy will be curbside in all weather conditions.
You have a deal -- and so do the gang here. Anything I feel like I'm about to part with, you'll specifically have first dibs.
Gimme an address for the skins. All I have to do is trace the outline onto a refirgerator box as a template. Then they're yours!
Any chance you have a line on some amber 6" Hellas I can mount in front of my hoopty's snout holes?
She's looking a bit too much like Miss Piggy just now.

I have a pair of 6.25 inch Hella's and a pair of 6.25 inch Lucas Flame Thrower clear lens driving lights, but they're both the flat 2.25 inch thick bumper mount style.

You probably need the more rounder style to fit into the body holes. These lights came stock on 914's. I have ONE of those with a driving light lense in it, but I also have ta pair of amber lenses to fit the 914 style that came from an early Mercedes. They're pretty neat in that they accept the clip in style H-4 high intensity halogen bulbs that just fit into the amber lenses from behind.

Results=Amber fog lights with a scorching halogen H-4 intensity ! ! If you want the single rounded style along with the pair of amber lenses, just give a shout. You can easily pick up another light housing at:

http://www.914club.com/bbs2/index.php?s=80a40d5ec4fa0d4a25e675d6cf696dc8&act=SF&f=18

They're offered for cheap there all the time.

That way you'll have a pair of driving lights with an extra set of amber lenses if you want to run fog lights instead

TC

Done. I might or might not still have the e-mail address with your address. I'll check. Whaddya want for the whole works? I'll drop a check with the soor skins.

Uh, make that "door" skins instead of "soor" skins.
Okay, TC, you've got first dibs on this one:

Bonnet straps and hardware up for grabs. Never been used. Perfect condition. Leather is in fabulous shape, undyed, and the hardware is chromed. Comes with all the required bits. Guaranteed to keep your hood where it's supposed to be whilst driving in ways you shouldn't be driving.

Those hood straps have my name on 'em. Which lights do you need/want? How about a "corpse" badge as well? Got a spare . . .

Lemme know.
