I have an offer from ARO regarding the 35-37 conv.coupe tops - this is a one time chance to get some discount as follows (copied from their email to me, below...). This currently represents about a 25% savings if we can put together an order for 6 or more tops/pads...Based on the timing, sorry/short, we would need to act fast to do this - right now, I have mentioned this opportunity to -

BigKev, Karl Ledbetter, Dave Patla, Andy Rosen, Chris Recker and Ed Minnie. That is 6. I think there are more of you out there that might be interested, so please contact me IMMMEDIATELY with your interest.

I would need to get your commitment next week to abide by 2024 pricing by December 19...then as you can read, prices only get worse...

I would have all shipped to me, then individually shipped to you.

I'm interested in a top and boot

I have a '37 CC, but it has a pretty good top and boot.

Yes, count me in, I'd like the stayfast top/solid. Straight side zippers, and the 4 pads if that's what is needed. I'd purchase a boot if that's available also? My car is black and I like the looks of a tan top, so I would want a tan top. I'm assuming the stayfast fabric is the same as a Haartz fabric? I have 3 tan color samples of Haartz fabrics with style numbers so I could provide that if it's helpful.

In the process of restoring a 120 C and will need a top. I need to educate my self a little on the offers etc., but definitely interested. Will let you know for sure early next week. Thanks

Was out of town for the weekend. I need your email/phone number to discuss and send details. Bottom line is cost of $1010 plus shipping, (list price is $1380), note that order must be placed BY December 19, as notice of 7-10% January price increase is motivating action.

also note if you go their website, aro2000.com and click on pricing for the top (#711) and then on that screen click on the ORIGINAL STYLE.... line, (4thh line under the picture of my car...), it will take you to some additional detail pictures, as well as a better rendition of the typical/traditional tan color.

I have put a call into ARO to ask whether they have a boot pattern, and some other details, AND asking how different colors may affect discount price for lot of tan tops.

ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED --- BETTER CONTACT ME SOON, THANK YOU.

Thanks for the top effort. Decided I'm a long way from needing a top, it may sit for a couple of years, so count me out. thanks again Bruce
