An unrestored top frame from a 66 Duetto, includes front bow and rear hoop. Nothing appears to be broken and the pivots are all ok, although a couple of them might need to be sleeved for tighter operation. I don't know if a smaller-than-spec bolt has been installed at the pivot between the top-of-window hinge points, but that's the one place I see that might need attention.
I've seen other used top frames for sale that look like they've been spray painted to hide problems - obviously, I haven't done this. The finish is factory original, as are the two strips of elastic to help pivot the top bow into place. Needless to say, it's not really very elastic any more. Replacement window seals are readily available from the usual places.
I know these are very difficult to find, and am not quite sure about pricing, but I'll say $1600 net plus shipping (and plus any Paypal fees). This will be pretty expensive to ship and I am willing to work with a buyer to find the best option. The frame is located in western Sonoma County, California, if someone in the Bay Area or Sacramento region is interested I can probably meet partway for an in-person handoff.
