Dear Bill (and friends),
Small world: even for Roadsterites!
I have the 69 2000 SRL311 08018, just a few chassis down the assembly line
from yours. And, yes, I too have the two (symmetrically placed) backup
lights hanging from the rear, and the round sidemarkers: all standard for
the '69 models. The seatbelt tags on mine indicate that those were made in
Oct. '68.
Now for real coincidence: I have a hardtop from Parrish Plastics!!
Tom Parrish is nearly retired now. He doesn't make tops anymore but has
some stock left that he is happy to sell. I don't know whether he has any
remaining for the (late-model) high-windshield Roadsters.
You can call his shop at (412) 833 1755. (Or, if anyone is interested, I
can call him and post the news.)
The shop's address is 5309 Enterprise Ave.; Bethel Park PA
In any case, if I can be of any help, e.g., if Tom has one for sale that
you'd like me to check out, I'm happy to offer some assistance. His shop is
about 20 minutes from my house!
Regards,
Teddy
Pgh PA
