hard top

I have two tops, one fiberglass and one aluminum, neither has rear window and as I am a new Sunbeam owner and don't know much about them these tops came with a series II I bought. Do not know if they even fit my car. I am looking for a Series II oil pump drive gear (12 tooth approximately 7.4cm. long). Perhaps you can give me some insite into the tops and help me with my part needs?

The late tops are all steel. Your aluminum top will only fit the Series I and II cars. The design of doors, wing windows and angle of windshield changed starting with the Series III. Your fiberglass top is an aftermarket top. If it fits a later car, someone may be interested, but I'm looking for a factory top.

I sold my last oil pump a month or so ago, so I can't help you, but it should be an easy find. Lots of motors out there with no home. Contact Jan (jumping Jan) on this list for that part. He is the authority on rebuilding these tractor motors. I know he has a lot of extra parts.

It is very easy to determine if you have early or late tops. The side windows on early cars cars have a nice continuous curve to them. The late ones are square with rounded corners.

Here is the side window cutout for a late model fiberglass top.

No, I must admit I know little about the Alpine engines as I've reengined my car with Ford engines. I do have an oil pump that came in a box of parts. It has 11 teeth. Don't even know if it is a Rootes part!

I see that the location of the top is in Texas? .. Yet your location is in So Cal? ..What is your reserve on the top? .... What are the rust/rot issues? ... it looks to be complete?

If it is (or was) the red one attached to a car, listed way to high. Probubly why why no action. It takes about $3000 to restore a top properly and they don't really add any value to a car. But they are kind of cool. So cores are not worth that much IMHO.
