Price of Hard Top for 57

[Deb]

Do any of you know what the average price is for an unrestored hardtop for a 57? I know alot depends on condition, but what would you think would be an acceptable price for one that has the parts but needs to be restored. I am not sure if the prices are the same for the 62 as they are for the 57.

Also, there are several being marketed as 56-60 even though they have stainless on the header. I thought stainless didn't come out until 57, making the 56 unlike the 57-60. Thoughts?

Thanks much.

C1 hardtops are quite spendy (assuming most of the parts are there), and restoring them is extremely expen$ive; most shops won't touch them (except the well-known hardtop restorers).

Thank you all. I was curious. The 2K sounds about right, of course, unrestored.
