Capri hardtop

[sc72]

So i was trolling the local PnP and found a capri non xr2 with a hard top, the first one i've seen, my question is, is it worth getting or should i leave it for the crusher.

Seen them go for around a grand in good shape.

They're good for $250-500 depending on the shape & accesories.

If you grab it, make sure you get all the bolts and plastic trim covers on the back, and get the defrost relay (in the trunk near the rollover switch) and the defrost switch out of the dash. Bonus if you find the hardtop bolt tool somewhere in the car. Big bucks if you get all that

Here is the junkyard top, it's not perfect but looks good. i pulled the rear wire harness from the window defroster, could not find the magic wrench, but i did find another capri and pulled the front holddown latches they are in good shape. Well i guess not. ok i give up.
