Hi everyone - new here. Premium ‘02 Inspiration Yellow Bird with full yellow guts. 8,900 original miles. Literally in the wrapper. One of 129 ordered WITHOUT the hardtop. As such I’m looking for a flawless top in white preferably.

Welcome KILR, thanks for joining, I'm on the lookout to get you that white top. The hardest part about hardtops is the location given the high cost of shipping them. You're downstate Illinois, correct? -
Hi KILR, welcome to the Forum, this is a great site with membership that collectively has 100's of years experience with Retro Thunderbirds!Comment

Yup - I’m in the Peoria, IL area. Since the car has such low miles, I don’t want to drive it too far to pick up a top. I could always rent a Uhaul for a day if one is found in a nearby state.Comment

PS - the KILR LX is under the car cover behind the Bird in my avatar…😉Comment

Bob look at shipping Via Greyhound Bus. I just shipped a package 62X48x20" to Denver for $128.00. Mine weight 85# but their weight limit is 100#.Originally posted by Brad View Post
They are a lot slower than Freight Carriers or FedEx ?UPS but half the cost if you deliver to Greyhound and the receiver picks up at Greyhound.Comment

I’m not sure if I’d trust a Greyhound with shipping of a flawless top. I’m paranoid.Comment

A hardtop is over their weight limit plus the weight of a crate or however it's packedComment

Jimr said weight limit is 100 ibs....Comment

Parted out two Cadillac Allantes in my youth (mid to late 60s!) did Greyhound for large bulky items. As Jimr sad, it worked well. I'm betting a hardtop would fit in the luggage area!Originally posted by Jimr View PostComment

First I need to find him a white top, then I need to sell it to him. Then we could have relay but it would be very short as he's only a few hours away 😀Originally posted by CoolBird View Post

That would be the shortest relay in history.
