It's in great shape. Is that a cargo net I see in the trunk?

Part number for a new one is E7ZZ-16738-A

However they were discontinued a year or so ago. Might get lucky and find some old inventory.

Good luck with that. I've been looking long and hard.

Sad thing is it looks like he has sold two of them so far and that's the 3rd (unless he sold and had non-paying buyers)

Perhaps I should have said I can't find them for less than $1,000.

Wait long enough and there will be a worthy repro.

I'm glad the E-Bay one says:

Does not ship to Alaska/Hawaii | See details



Seriously though, none of my 3 cars have them. The SSP never came with one from the factory, and the other two....they were long gone before I bought the cars.

Glad mine is good. I thought about pressure washing. Yours will clean better than that. Your going to have fun with cleaning your car up. Because you dont have that much to do I would get the cover for the starter solenoid.

Looks like a nice, original GT convertible. Enjoy it as I am mine. If you elect to do some modifications or changes, save all the old parts. Put em in boxes and label them for the future owner. Nothing I am doing to mine can't be undone and the future owner will have the option to go back to stock if they wish.

The reality is we are all only temporary stewards of these cars for a short period of time and eventually they will hopefully be passed onto someone else that has the passion for preserving these cars that we all do.

I respect those that want to keep them original, but also those that want to make changes to make them their own. To me that's the fun part about these cars. We all only get one lap in life, so we should do what makes us happy and not worry about what others think or what their opinions are. It's your car, do what makes you happy and have fun. I would have to do gears, exhaust and a shifter at minimum, but that's just me because those items really make these cars fun to drive.

If you decide to keep a well maintained stock GT, great, if otherwise, that's good also. The hood blanket in my 87GT was heavily stained and falling apart when I got the car so mine went.


Good luck with it.

HOLY CRAP.. i have the OEM one from a car i pulled off like 20 years ago when I put a Cervini hood on it. Ridiculous what the parts on these cars are going for now.
