I've been looking for another fox for awhile now, and didnt have much success in striking a deal. But to cut out all the small talk i went out passed redding and picked up a 89 T-Top GT i didnt even know they had T-Tops in 89. The body on it is hella straight but needs weather stripping for the tops bad(If anybody knows of a good place to get weather stripping please let me know!!) The car came with a lot of extra stuff: 2 T-5's(1 needs to be rebuilt), a complete 5.0 HO with gt40 heads, a set of no name 1.6 roller rockers, a 302 block bored .030 over (306), an extra altinator, an extra clutch, 1 chamber flowmasters, a B&M pro ripper shifter and a stock shifter, and a box full of little nic-nacs and bolts! So i guess the saying is true good things happen to those who wait! I've talked to a few people on this board trying to but their car some were real good people and others flaked and i told them i had cash in hand and some didnt even answer they're phone right after they posted the car!! But enough of all the here goes the pictures

If the price was right then kudos to you and congrats ...but i'd say theres a lot of work to be done to it to make it tits (by the looks of the pictures). What're your plans for it?

I got it for $1000 including all the extra parts, and as far as plans go im gonna pretty much leave it stock for now just add a few bolt ons i have (JBA headers, bassani x-pipe with high flow cats, flowmasters, GT40 heads, and an edelbrock performer upper and lower)
But im gonna build the 306 get forged pistons, a cam, and maybe a bbk ssi intake! And im gonna put my trick flow heads on it, so pretty much when its all said and done i just want a 12 second street car

Thats exactly what i thought, but there are no signs of any cutting or welding. I took the headliner down so i could see and it looks exactly like my boi's t top coupe and his t top capri! I didnt believe the guy when he told me it was a 89 but all the paperwork and vin number say 89 and its a clean title car
