Price reduced to $10,500 from $11,500 and the hard top is now included at that price. It's $8,500 without the hard top which is better.

It has a hard top, but it's not included for the asking price. Neither are the steering wheel or exhaust. It has lots of other nice parts though and a lot of maintenance including clutch and suspension.
