Hey guys,
I've got the itch to move into a T-Top or sunroof hatch and so I'm putting this feeler out there. If you have a T-Top or sunroof-equipped hatch that's in good cosmetic and mechanical condition, let me know. Looking for a 5-speed V8 and not something that's going to bog me down with projects from the get-go. Doesn't need to be perfect either. T-Tops strongly preferred. EFI preferred but not a dealbreaker.
My trade is a clean 1990 7-Up 5-speed convertible that I've owned and cared for over the last 4 years. Deep Emerald Green Metallic, Titanium / Oxford White Interior, White top.
It's basically a bone stock car, appears to have been garage-stored its entire life and shows zero signs of abuse. A really nice example.
LMK if you're interested and lets talk. I'm based in Pawtucket, RI.

- The car spent the majority of its life in Texas and Louisiana — you could eat off the floorboards
- Pinch welds on the rockers, torque boxes, and shock towers are all mint
- White leather interior is super clean. Leather is supple with no tears. Some plastics show some aging to be expected with a 'vert's sun exposure
- Cruise works
- Heat works
- The radio is original and works great
- I installed a LMR cupholder console panel and painted to match, but still have the original
- Replaced door pockets and window guides
- Nice carpeting with mats to match
- New top motor and hydraulics
- New cap, rotor, wires, and coil
- New front brakes
- New shocks / struts all around
- New axles / axle bearings (when I did this work, I inspected the diff and the gearing looked basically new - stock 2.73 posi)
- Stock manifolds and primary cats. Secondary cats deleted. Stock mufflers replaced with Magnaflows with a mild-mannered growl. Original LX stainless tips preserved. When I got the car, the original exhaust appeared to still be on the car - mufflers were stamped with "Ford"
- Motor runs smoothly, idles well, and responds as it should
- Good gas mileage - averaging around 18pmg on joyrides
- 5-speed trans shifts nicely with no complaints
- Clutch seems good, functions well, no bearing squeaks at all
- Tires are 4 years old but have only seen about 15k miles, plenty of life left
- Just rolled through 100k miles on my last cruise before putting it away for the winter
- Top is a little worn but still very serviceable and pretty presentable. I haven't bothered to replace it since I keep the top down most of the time anyway.
