Soft Top For Rt/10.......cost??

[VIPERCANE]

What is a reasonable price for a barely used soft top? What years do they differ in fit?

Thanks.

 

[99 R/T 10]

Depends on condition. Call JonB, but I think a near new one is like $1500-$1800. If it has repairs in the fabric, $800-$1200.

I believe that the fitting is like:
1992-1994(early cars have linger pins and a slide lock on the front joint of the soft top)
1994-1996(front pins are shorter than the early versions)
1997-2002 (all Gen IIs should interchange)

What year top do you have?

I think $ 1800.00 was in 1995....Bet they are a tad more now....

eBay Motors: Dodge Viper Soft Top (Toupette) - 2nd GEN '97-'02 NR! (item 200226570501 end time May-31-08 10:00:26 PDT)

According to this, in 2003 they were $2500. That was BC (before Cerebus), now they are probably double that.

I have a soft top that has been stored in my office storage for the last 4 years. I gave my son an assignment to clean out the area and sell whatever he might find on Ebay. He started his own ebay business two weeks ago (he is 11 years old) and did he luck out finding all kinds of valuable stuff. Besides the soft top, he now has some KEF Reference series speakers (surround sound), beautiful black stands for such, Sony ES receiver etc.

The soft top was given to me in 2004 when I bought my RT by a friend. I never used it and just put it away. But, now that I have taken it out of the box (it has been used very sparsely by the person that gave it to me), I am trying to figure if this will fit the car. I will give it a try tomorrow.

So, once I figure out what year this top is for, my son will know how to post it on ebay He made his first sale last Friday selling a PTZ 360 degree color dome camera used for surveillance which was his first find in the storage site. Hopefully, he will have similar success with all his findings.

Thanks for the help guys.

Steve, thanks for that Ebay link .............that is exactly what I have but no bag. Now, I will inform my son what he can expect or somewhere around there.

I've got my top an ebay right now. I've had several people looking for one that fits a '96 (Gen 1.5 I guess). I'll pass along the contacts to anyone who has one for sale.

Sold it for $826 plus shipping. It's going to Canada. Not what I was hoping for, but I guess that's what someone was willing to pay.

 

[VIPERCANE]

Will let my son know that. Thanks again.
