The one recently on ebay went to some guy named "rayg3141" for $132. Just want to be clear THIS IS NOT ME!! I wasn't even bidding on it, since I already have one. Just want to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest! Hope you've had some luck nighthawk.

I got mine for around $125 off of Ebay. Then a few months later I found one on an RX-7 in my local, low end junk yard that I snagged for $10. Geez. Oh well, I can sell it and recoup the costs.

Why the hell are these things worth so damn much? I have one I am looking to get rid of. Maybe I am thinking about selling it for too little.

They were an option and few came with them. Look for one for a 79 if you really want to see high prices.

And shipping should be in the $20 range.

Sounds like Normality Glitch or Beep777 might have a glass top they'd get rid of, and I have some ignitors if you haven't found any yet. Those glass tops are nice, worth $130 for a good one, you can tell your wife I said so.

To you nighthawk, because I want your wife to understand what an incredibly good deal a 22 year old Mazda is, $15 shipped for a matched and tested pair (one of the last two I have).

You do know that the 80 can be a 79 style or 81+ style right?

I did not know that. I will double check the 1980 sunroof to see what type it is. I'm glad to hear this.
