Are you kidding me! An '88 t-top GT for $500!

Fan-freaking-tastic find my friend! Those are a tough thing to find.

I'm not particularly fond of that hood, looks like something one might see Darth Vader looking through on a space ship.

Other than that though, jeeeeeez! What a spectacular find.

Looks great! What have you done to it since getting it out of the junkyard?

jambs out repaint,,by the way since everybody has a cowl induction hood of some version I spliced on an original ram air hood scoop from a 1970 amc amx,,the underside is finished out so it could be made funcional ,,had to scrounge trans parts since the original was grenaded,,even broke the bellhousing and starter,,scored a couple cores from the same salvage yard and with a bearing and gskt kit put a good one together,,redyed the interior,,new carpet and headliner (fabricated from a std headliner),,seats just needed a good cleaning,,flowmaster exhaust,,,,with a tune and a set of the later version injectors the motor ran perfect so I didn't do much else,,we go on the hot rod power tour so I don't like to get carried out with modifications that take away from the original driveability,,,the driveshaft, console, trans crossmember, and some other stuff was missing along with some other minor stuff but didn't have a problem finding any of that, I do all the work myself so I cant blame anyone else for issues

That's amazing! If I ever buy another Fox, it's either going to be a T-Top hatchback or a notchback. Man, I really dig the T-Tops though.
