Well this is the 1st documented case I've heard so far about T-Top production numbers. Is it a newer book? I'd love to get a general idea about T-Top production numbers in general.

Nope around 800 it came out of a guy from fords mouth. It never said how many were coupes and notches. It said nothing about 87's however ive seen a crap load of 87's so they have to be in the thousands..

I've seen a bunch of places where it's been around 100 in 88 I think the highest number I ever saw was 112 thats a far cry from 800

I'd consider buying a 2nd Fox if I can find an Aero GT T-Top in decent condition.

Neat....but at best it's still a roundabout, shot in the dark figure. I'm not so sure I'd bank on a 25-year-old memory from just a "guy from Ford" as being a credible source. Some actual photocopies of a few R&D or production line orders would be a lot more reassuring than just the word of "Joe Blow" that worked at Ford in the late-80's.

I mean....I worked for Ford in the mid/late-90's as well, but I sure as **** couldn't tell you how many Convertibles rolled off the assembly line in a particular year.

I can tell you for a fact that there were no production T-Top SN95's built during that time period though.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought I read that no foxes were produced by ford as convertibles or t-tops they were all conversions done by a third party. If that is true I would assume you would have to rely on their records or find a way to see the number of cars sent to them and assume all hatchbacks were converted into t-tops and subtract convertible production numbers from the notch's they received and maybe get a number on t-top notch's. By the way I add good luck to anyone with the time or patience to try and really figure this out.

Mine don’t look like third party, mine look like factory ford. It tells you how to operate the Ts in the operator’s manual and stowed sheaths look like ford. LOL the number I herd for the 88 was about 300.

a company called cars and concepts did the t-tops conversion although some dealerships had the capability to do it because they had a template.the company which was in brighton mi has long been out of business but i do remember driving to their parking lot with a friend of mine thinking we could get a look inside.
