I bought an 88 LX to use as a donor for my FFR Cobra. It has T-tops, Saleen ground effects, and 94 front seats. The T-tops do NOT leak and make no wind noise when driving. The black paint is not perfect, but looks pretty good. The car was very solid, nice ride. I started taking the car apart, the interior is out, the front spindles & breaks are out, the rear is out, the engine (302 TFS h/c/i) is on a stand, and the tranny is my four-eye 93 along with the alum driveshaft.

I sold the FFR and don't know what I want to do with this car. I could put it back together as a roller and sell it. I'm not buying another tranny & driveshaft, have everything else, don't think I'll part with that engine anytime soon though. I was thinking about continuing to take the car apart and clean everythin up for my next FFR, I will be getting another soon. BUT, I was also thinking about buying everything new for the next FFR which means I would not need the parts off the 88. Then I thought about parting the whole car out and selling the body.

What do you guys think this car might be worth as a roller (everything but engine & tranny)?

What do you think an 88 T-top shell might be worth?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Cliff

Why wouldn't you put it back together and drive it? That is a nice looking car! If I were you I would do that or save everything for another FFR Cobra since you will need it anyway!

That car is too clean to part out. I would put it all togeather except the engine and tranny and sell it since you don't want to part with the engine. I am sure someone out there has a wrecked foxbody that needs a nice body like that.

Please don't part it out. It's rare as it is. There were probably only a thousand or so '88 t-tops made.

Either put it back together or sell it to someone that will. The car is too clean and unique to be ripped apart and gutted completely

I may get flamed for this.
Take anytihng out of it that you can easily sell,
Drink some tequilla
Blow it up and get it on video


If you dont want to do that, Ship it to me. Id love a t-top frame. I have a full other car. I could just move REST of the car over to that frame!

If you dont send the frame to me, for free of course, i got dibs on the first video.
