Free vert top frame, just pay shipping!

i



Here's the deal..I've been gone from the boards for quite a while now... I used to be very active on them . I have sold this top frame on two separate occasions and have boxed and shipped it both times and have had it returned both times.... not because something was wrong with it, but because it required a signature for pickup and no one ever signed for it at the other end. neither previous buyer wanted to pay to ship it again so here it is. I am moving and do not want to move it... (cont)

Re: Free vert top frame, just pay shipping!

it to my new house. I honestly don't remember anymore what year it is off of' I know the frame is good and I know the top material is not. I just want this thing go on and don't want to deal with it anymore. today is the 16th of April and in about a month I'm going to ship this thing to someone. it's very easy... if you are interested in receiving a free top and are willing to pay shipping to get it from Central Illinois to where you are at then simply put "INTERESTED" as a comment below. I will randomly pick one name from a hat from everyone that says they are interested in about a month. I honestly can't answer many questions about it as I've had this thing for 7 years, three of which it's been in a box. no I will not unbox it to take more pictures, sorry, it's just not worth the hassle. the top is a legitimate ASC top, not some later conversion top.

Re: Free vert top frame, just pay shipping!

I will not "end this early" for cash and I will absolutely not cheat for anyone... don't even ask. if you are close to Central Illinois and want to pick it up that is absolutely acceptable as well. Mods, I hope this is okay here as it's not really a classified and is very vert specific. the top will be shipping from zip code 62703. the dimensions are 68" x 11" x 37". I will ship FedEx or UPS, your choice. comment away and i will notify everyone before i draw the name. thanks guys/gals!

Re: Free vert top frame, just pay shipping!

If you get me your address, I can have UPS pick it up for you, or I can send you a shipping label, and all you have to do is drop it off at UPS. Just get me your address and you will not be out anything but time. I will mail you the shipping tag.

You posted the dims, what is the weight?

UPS shipping calculator shows $243 to ship it. That's considerably higher than what I paid to ship it the last 2 times. Both times it was near $150. I remember it showing high on their website last time too. I'll check into it and get a firm answer.

I think it was like 85 pounds when I shipped it last time. For a box of this size the available weight is up to 167 pounds before there are additional charges and I know it's WAY below that.

To be honest I truly don't remember. I bought 3 of them for a steal back in the day and have just been sitting on them forever. I think I've had it for over 7 years. My guess would be that it's off of 87-89, but no promises at all. I didn't take them off of the cars they came from either so I never saw the car to know for sure either.

Re: Free vert top frame, just pay shipping!

UPDATE :

I'D LIKE TO CLOSE THIS OUT ON/AROUND MAY 15TH. THAT'S 1 DAY SHORT OF 1 MONTH FROM THE POSTING. I'd like to do this because I work a swing style shift and I have the 21st-23rd of May off and that gives the 1st name picked 1 week to respond and that way I can ship it on my days off.

ALSO:

If your name is picked and shipping is outrageous and you don't want to do it I'm perfectly happy moving to the next guy. I'm not trying to jam anyone up here. I know shipping prices have gone crazy over the last few years and this is an exceptionally big piece to be shipping. I know for a fact that it was about $150 to ship the last 2 times I sent it. I looked it up today and the UPS calculator shows about $250 but it has always shown higher than anything I have ever shipped. Keep that in mind tho. Good luck to all and I'll check back in a few more days.

Dylan

Re: Free vert top frame, just pay shipping!

I remain interested... Let me know what you decide to do...

Like I said, I can send you the UPS label, and you just drop it off, that way you do not need to worry about paying for anything.

Re: Free vert top frame, just pay shipping!

about 2 weeks left. thank you all for the interest. it will be nice to free up some space in the garage for the move. like I said before, the guys/gals who are close are absolutely more than welcome to pick it up and those with UPS shipping accounts or FedEx shipping accounts can certainly use those if they get it. it's good to know that it's going to go to a good home.

Re: Free vert top frame, just pay shipping!

sorry for the delay guys. our family business was burglarized the night before last and I've been mildly distracted by that. I'll jump on this evening and get all the names together and get us a winner!

Digging thru some stuff after the burg i found more things i won't be using and will do this again but probably only a week long next time...this was waaay too long!

So we had 7 names in the hat tonight! The names included are...

We had 8 but one pulled out. I wrote the names on paper of similar size and shape, folded them the same, and into a hat they went. they were shaken and mixed and 1 name was pulled.
