Need pic of this specific body/combo

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I'm looking for a pic of a black Fox GT with a Stalker nose, Cobra rear bumper and 3 inch cowl hood....maybe a Cobra wing, and with silver Cobra R rims. This is basically my buddy's car now only his is red and i'm trying to talk him into painting it black...lol

This was one my past stangs, it doesn't have the cobra rear bumper or nose but it does have the cobra wing and cowl hood. Maybe someone can photoshop it in for you.

Paint code is B92P , black with blue pearl. Custom mixed with about 200% added pearl per gallon. Hard to capture in a picture, but basically it looks like metallic blue with candy black in the sun only. Pretty sweet IMO. ENJOY

went with the y2k hood, was getting 18" y2k rims to match but they were on backorder and they gave me a super deal on the cobra Rs yea yea i know, looking into diff wheel options now.

heres right after paint. Did put the saleen side skirts on or mouldings. But the back is pretty much the same.

Enjoy, once you go black , youll never go back!!!

That's pretty close except for the hood....i forgot to mention it has Cobra R's on it so that's a pretty close match! I notice you have convertible side views....that's different, i've only seen that on a few hard tops.

Here's a pic of his car for kicks. It's been lowered since that pic. It also has a heavy pearl to the paint which is nearly impossible to get in pictures.

I have TTOPS actually, and since its the last year of them made, 1988, they have vert mirrors for that year only. Its under speculation but approx 281 TTOPS were made in 88. Im holding on to this one.

 

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Huh, i've never seen vert mirrors on a ttop anyways?


This badass coupe has them on it too.

Yeah of the 500+ various Mustang pics i have, i don't have a single pic of that combination...not in any color aside from his car! You'd thnk it would be fairly common.

Ok rookie....i'm callin you out on this one. If they're out there, get me 5 pics of 5 different cars, THAT HAVE T TOPS, that have those side views


Trust me on this one....if that's the first pic of them on a hatch that i've ever seen, then they're sure as hell not common....if i'm obsessed enough to have over 500 pics of Mustangs saved on my PC, and 90% of them are Fox's....i think i'd have a pic of one by now if they were out there?

Yeah yeah whatever....those are all verts too which only validates my point

Well, while i don't think they came stock, there certainly were very few so the lack of seeing enough true '88 t top cars means anything's possible. Hell i just went through my whole collection of pics and i don't have a single picture of any hard top or t top Mustang with vert mirrors aside from your car and that coupe i posted earlier.

best I can do- They only made around 300 of them, hard to find. Looks to be only a handfull had the vert doors. Which makes mine more rare- thanks for the enlightenment

hmm scary stuff...something i didnt know about fox mustangs...i looked up some pics of 88 t-top cars and each of them does in fact have convertible mirrors...i have never ever noticed that before...will continue to search to see if that is in fact how they were...

EDIT: so far found 2 GT's with vert mirrors and one t-top notch (owner is a member here) but the notch has regular mirrors...

...the search continues...

 

[QUICK91LX]

ok so here is what i have found thus far, i figured i should include some pics...

This car is currently on eBay, and is listed as an 88...it has the vert mirrors

Also here is the drool-worthy T-Top notch that sometimes finds its way onto StangNet by its lucky owner...the CarDomain site says it too is an 88, but it has the standard mirrors.

Here is another GT found on CraigsList, listed as an 88, with the vert mirrors. the ad did specify that it is a california car, but no mass air sensor is visible in the engine pic...88's in cali were mass air cars...soooo not sure if the cali thing has anything to do with the mirrors....??

Another GT from CarDomain...once again with vert mirrors...listed as an 88

BUT!!!

Here is an 88 from CarDomain listed as an 88 but with the standard mirrors...

OK I'll quit it now...but I am curious to know just exactly how this went...haha sorry to jack your thread...ill try to find some pics of what you were originally looking for!!!

 

[QUICK91LX]

Just to keep the theme of the thread going...here is a pic of a car thats close to what you want...it still annoys me that i cant find one that is what you need...it seems like such a simple combo...

for the record that my car when I first started body work, old motor, blower etc.


I dont know what its a hard concept to grasp, it seems they changed to vert mirrors mid year as soon as they decided to can the whole project afterall. Im not finding enough info since they are so rare as it is, I have a needle in a haystack, I bought the car stock and have done all the mods myself. I could have (perhaps should have) restored it to original cond, but it was too tempting to push over 400 ponies and behold, my present setup. I like to say its 49% show and 51% go.
