1. Yes 2. Has it got ALL the hardware 3. Second hand: $100-$200, new:

options 5. Same as 4 6. On the '74, which wasn't collision damaged,
perfectly. On the badly deformed '73 (had been rear ended) we had to
add foam to the rear seal. Not too bad to store, as long as you
protect them from dings with a blanket.

Yes, they come with a headliner, but no soundproofing between the liner
and the top; but still much quieter than the rag top (and warmer).

We got our second hard top for $35 Canadian because some creep had
ripped the side window out of the top, ruining the metal mounts in the
process.
