64 -65 vinyl top trim
This may not be the right spot to ask this, but I did a search and between time outs I didn't find an answer. I'm thinking of selling my vinyl top trim but have no idea what it's really worth. The last set on ebay went for $400 I was told. Is that what they are bringing now? Not sure if I should sell if they are that hard to find. It took me 4 years to find these and they are nice nice nice.
Also, is it stainless or aluminum, I can't tell for sure. Last edited by 65Mark; 02-08-2012 at 05:45 PM. |

Any idea if they are stainless? I want to hit them with the buffer if they are.

They're aluminum for sure, don't try buffing them .

They are stainless steel. A friend sold his about 3 years ago for $250. They were mint. I would not polish them..leave that option to the new owner. They are, indeed, hard to find.

The ones on my '65 are aluminum I'm 100% positive, unless there are two styles or something.

Thanks for all the responses. I'm not so sure I should sell them now, if they are that hard to find and worth as little as $250, I would have to pay $400 if I was ever to replace them. These feel kind of light for stainless but what do I know. I guess I could put them to the grinder and see if they spark! ... kidding.

Take a good magnet to them, it will stick to stainless but not to aluminum.

I picked up a set on here last year that needed minor work for $125. They are definitely anodized aluminum. What you sell for is up to you. There may or may not ever be reproductions.

I have one set for a '65 I plan to use them on. Mine are alum, not stainless.

On some of the lower end models, the windshield trim is also anodized aluminum. Maybe that caused you the confusion?

After more checking these are aluminum. I'm thinking of setting up an anodizing tank anyway, if I do I may reanodize these, although they really don't need it unless you wanted an NOS look.

Try put them on ebay as auction, start them of at a price that you want and see what happens. You have nothing to lose!
