Good luck. There were only like nine of them. I cant recall seeing one yet. I hope you find one for your collection of sweet foxes.

I saw a black one at Krug L-M in Dearborn in 1986.

Looked rough, even while new. Turned it down because with CAPRI letters on the hood, I assumed it was a fake.

Hank has one. Good luck getting him to sell it though. They're a rare breed.

G/L in your search.

Dealers by & large did not order the T-Tops for two reasons:

* It upped the price ALOT
* It often leaked !
* I was told that since the buyer was instructed NOT to place the 2
panels on top of one & other, the rear seat had to be folded down
to make enough room to have one in the cargo area and the other one on the back-side of 1/2 of the back seat.

Now then, since my car has a solid roof, I do not know if the above is 100% correct, but it seems probable....

There was a gray/orange 86 in boxes for sale on here last year or so that I had the hots for. Sadly it sold before I could get to it. Good luck with your search.

I own that car. It's in pieces but it's a flawless platform to start from. It's a Eurocoupe t-top car with all the options. Documented one of nine, t-tops and all the options most likely make it one of one. I'd part with it if the right offer came along. Any one with money who is serious about buying it is more than welcome to contact me, but keep in mind, I don't need to sell it and I'm not going to give it away.

I'll trade you a shiny TL1000 for it

Too bad you took it further away from me.

Both.

Original auto car that was converted to a manual setup way back when. It was sold as a stripped down rolling chassis. No drive line, seats, part of the dash, etc. Literally "in boxes". A nice long term project for an ambitious individual.
As I wait for a response to my pricing inquiry

.

(OP has first refusal of course)

That was my car. Don't see many with T-tops. That is why I sold it. Hated them
