87 GT T-top

Being that they were only made 1 year, I'm assuming they weren't very popular, but I found one that needs some fair body work for 1600, but it runs and moves.

It does have some pretty major cancer...buddy had to take out the windsheild to try and repair some of the rust.....it's also about 6 different colours, needs door pads and he tried to mould a 3" cowl to the hood and it doesn't look so good.

So what would one pay for something like this? I realize it's not worth my time or money, but what does everyone think this thing is worth?

$800-1000, assuming the floors are ok, torque boxes etc.

Try to post some pics but its hard to say with out seeing. Worst case
make an offer so if you are over your head you can part it or sell
it complete and get your money back. Good luck, there are not many
left!

It had some pretty good cancer spots.

Most of it was the roof......above the windshield and around where the t-tops would seal up, almost in the same spots as T/A's and t-top Firechickens....anyway, it was about 4-5 different colours but it ran and moved from what buddy said, but I wasn't even going to bother going to see it.

I wouldn't pay more than 1000$ for it! That is just my opinion though.....

T Top fox Mustangs had been made from 79-88, there are lots of them around just not in Canada as most have rotted away. They all rot around the windshield pillars(a pillar), and front and rear door posts (a and b pillars) and some even suffer from rot on the frame below the strut towers. If you know a very good body man, thats willing to do you a massive favour, the only way to properly fix this car would be to cut the windshield pillars and weld a new front roof/windshield section from a hardtop car, provided that the rest of the car isn't rotted beyond repair. Personally, I'd stay away and stick to a nice coupe or a regular hatch (no aftermarket sunroof).

yea, I wasn't going to buy it, I just thought it was neat.

Although, I feel kinda bad for buddy, he's not gonna sell that thing.

Probably not, but he might as there are lots of people out there willing to take on a project with the know how of fixing it right. But, this dudes best bet might be to just part the car out. With a little bit of work, he can probably take in $1200-1500 in parts for the car.
