Just curious to see the kind of stuff people have put in their hatch... I've hauled quite a few rear ends, boxes, tires and wheels, random stuff... I will post up pictures

Usually just the t-tops.

The oddest I've ever seen though, was a mountain bike in the back of a MINT modded 87+ GT... The weirdest part was that he was AT the trails, which involves driving off road. I didn't get a chance to talk to the owner, but if I had to guess, it was just the result of bad planning on his part, because I never saw that car at the trails again.

Not this hatch but my old one hauled a charmingly plump girl or two I met while drinking. I'm past that now.

Funny thing is, I used to haul my bike on my coupe... Now that I have a hatch, it will either go in the back, or I will find a way to mount my rack to it..

I dont have a picture, but I picked up a nose wheel / tire assembly for a 727 at Dulles Airport and drove it to BWI for an aircraft we were working on. Yep... in the hatch of an 87 GT.

I've had to use my GT for work a few times, which is catering. I think the biggest amount of food I've hauled by myself was for 75 people.

I have entertained the thought of putting a roof rack on the '86. Problem is, I'd have to park it in a close parking lot then ride to the trails, cuz no way in hell am I driving the car off road haha. Plus mud dripping off the bike onto the car... not cool!

My mountain bike was in the back this year between a car show and cruise I had a couple of hours to kill. There was a bike path only about a 1/2 mile from the car show.
It was a paved path, so no worry about mud!

The only thing that's ever ridden in my hatch is my nitrous bottle.

When I had a Fox back in the 90's, I had anything that would fit. Engine parts, transmissions, exhaust systems. You name it, it found its way back there. When I got rid of it, the carpet still looked brand new. I'm not sure how I didn't destroy it with some of the things I'd put in the hatch, but I guess throwing down a moving blanket was enough to keep grease and oil at bay.
