WTB Fiberglass Top for Kellison Super T   Price: 200+ 
I am trying to locate a Fiberglass Top for my 1970 Kellison Super T Dune Buggy. The same top fits a Sandpiper Pickup. Anyone who might have one or one that might fit, please contact and please include cost, photos and measurements. Approx measurements are...
Width of Windshield 41 1/2"
Height of Winshield 14 1/4"
Width of widest point in back 49"
Length from body behind seat to windshield 40"

There is a gentleman listing a Sandpiper Pickup on TheSamba that includes a photo of the top.

I saw a whole car for sale with a top on Craigslist.  I have no idea if the seller is willing to sell the top separately, but it can't hurt to ask.

Or ask the seller to pass along your name/phone number to the new owner. Maybe the new owner won't want to run the top..... or may be willing to provide the top to make a mold while he/she is going through or restoring it.

Its just a thought... Always more than one way to skin a cat.

Good luck, Jim.

John and Jay, This guy also has it listed on eBay for the 2nd time. I asked him if he would part with the top and he replied that he would not separate them. There are no bids on it as of today. I also had a guy contact me that saw my post on The Samba, but after a couple of emails he stopped communicating. He wanted $250.00 for it, which I was willing to pay. But I think I scared him off when I asked if he would wrap it up and tie it to a wooden palate. I even told him I would compensate him for it. I hope to find one sooner or later. My ultimate dream would be to find a C-Cab for it!!!

Joe, you are correct about the the primered Sandpiper Pickup not having ridges on the the top. As a matter of fact, that is the only one I have seen without the two ridges. There is another one (Super T) on TheSamba that has a top and this is the guy that doesn't want to seperate the body and the top.

Here's a photo of my original windshield and the dimensions I sent to the guy who built me a new one for my Super T. Hope it helps! For the life of me, I can not locate the frame.

are you still looking for a top it is broke that is the corner is though i have it also and as for the brakets for the original windshield did yours pivit
By Kellison Jim Date 2010-06-29 00:28
Joe, I kind of put it on the back burner, but would definitely be interested! But a lot would depend on price and shipping cost. What does that sucker weigh? As for the brackets, I never had any and the windshield was stationary and didn't pivot.
Did the measurements for the windshield help?

By Kellison Jim Date 2010-06-30 04:36
The Kellison Sandpiper Pickup and the Kellison Super T do take the same top. Thanks for checking!

Seems like the distance between windshield and rear body would be different.

John, the distance seems the same, but the more I look the rear lip on the Sandpiper Pickup is squared off where as the Super T is rounded. Not sure if this would make a big differance or maybe a little modification will be needed.
