VALUE OF M38 ARTIC HARD TOP???

Post by hofftemp » Sun Dec 11, 2016 4:54 am

I just purchased a CJ2A that has a M38 hard top and need to know what price to put on it. It does not have the correct windshield, I can email more photos. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Earl

Is it complete with doors? I would say about $500.00 if it is in good condition. Photos of the complete item would be more helpful. 8)

Earl,

After seeing the photos, and thanks for posting them, I still think $500.00 is a good price. The shippng cost would have to be added. 8)

Thanks for all the help, when we get the jeep in the top will be removed and priced at $400, that will help on crate and freight, it will be located at Seven Points, Texas at my grandson's shop. I'll let him price the crate, or it can be picked up there. Earl

Top is available, it just didn't look right on a CJ2A. Best offer, and don't be afraid to offer...it is located at my grandson's (David) shop in Seven Points, TX, it is best to text him at 903-603-5891. I have instructed him to take any reasonable offer as it may as well go to a M38 guy as to sit around and get banged up.

Top still available, $200, text David at 903-603-5891 for more info and dealing. Hate to see it getting banged up just sitting around. Earl
