Question Saratoga glass Top for 914?

Was there a Saratoga top made for the 914?

All glass, reflective like the ones for the 944?

If so what are they worth?

Any one have any pictures of one?

TIA

The Saratoga Top is like a microwave lid, cooking its occupants for what additional scenery (and "WOW" factor) it provided. It didn't seal all that great even when new, quality was "questionable", and doesn't really add value to the vehicle.

Money better spent elsewhere (upgraded brakes, suspension, exhaust, etc).

Doug,

Did you sell the 951 and buy a 914 instead? Bring it over to my place and we can compare?

I think the most alarming quality of the Saratoga top was it's alleged habit of flying off of the car at speed. Have we talked you out of it yet?
