Well,
First thing, I don't have the top that you want, but I DO HAVE: :)
a Radio Console for a '71 B. VB sells this baby for $399. I paid $61 +
$5 dollars shipping for it hoping to fit it on my '70. I probably could
make it fit, but the part is in REALLY nice shape, I don't want to modify
it because I would rather see it go on a '71 where it ought to be.
This is my first mention of it. I don't want more than I paid for it,
but I would like to get that out of it. So if you want it, it can be yours.
