Not entirely sure if it's for sale or not but Joe Poole over @ CGOA dug up a top like 'catchnedge' has. This makes 2 known to man. Better take good (303) care of that baby Mark cuz if Joe Poole's never seen one before you can bet they're few & far between.

Anybody got a pic for comparison? Thought I did but 'course now I can't find it ...

Hey, speaking of these tops, I need one of these for the rails on mine for the 67 V172. One is completely missing. Any idea where I can find one?

You can get them in white or black plastic at West Marine.

Doug, I can see that some of the seams look different, but would like/need to see it layed out for a complete view.  Here are a few pics of my bimini, but they are not the best angle/shots for a comparison.  Is he trying to figure out what boat it's designed for?  I could lay the pieces I have out and take some measurements if he needs me to?  I have all the side windows, back with window, and bow cover.
 
edit:  Doug, I should have read his post before I replied... Chris already posted pics.  got it and thanks Chris.

Lack of funds Kip ...

Edit ...
1968 thru 1971 had curved windshields, 1972 got the squared windshields.
Not sure if it would fit ...
