    Hardtop E30 Convert.?

    How rare is the E30 hardtop convert? I never knew they existed until a car dealer friend bought one last year, think he still has it for sale also.

    talk to aaron, he has a calypso cabrio with a hardtop, he just recently bought it off ebay i think. I dont believe that they are EXTREMELY rare, but i know they're a bit pricey, like $1200 ballpark i think

    EDIT: he bought just the hardtop part, not the whole car, and just the top costs about 1200 (i think)

      Yeah, the hardtop is not an original piece on the cars. You buy the hardtop and then install it on the car with the soft top folded down.

      An E30 with a folding hardtop would be cash. Anyone seen any custom jobs?

                Yup bought it off Dave Adams after his unfortunate crash. In my area they seem hard to come by but I would imagine in the colder (snowy) climates, more people would have purchased them when they bought the car.

                Mine is in great shape. I had the headliner redone in black cloth.

                      Anyone ever thought of having it painted body color?

                      Just a thought that popped into my head, I bet that would look pretty damn sweet.

                        It would probably be very expensive also.

                            I've though of that for a long time, think it would be pretty sweet looking too.
