I am trying to find an estimate of how many were made. I don't know anyone who has seen more than 10 total 79-88 t-top notches.
You might have to start a T-Top Notch Registry! I have only seen 2 in person 1 on the road in Tucson a couple years back and the other is in my friends Mustang Auto Salvage yard. Seen quite a few Ford Promo pictures for them mostly 81's. Everything I can find shows in 87 & 88 all T-Tops where a GT only option so therefore hatches, and the 2 I know of are both 86 or older. I believe my friends is an 83 or 84, I'll have to ask him next time I'm there.

yeah I found a guy on 4 eye pride that says he had one, he collects t-top notches. He has only had 3 in his life.

She's just dirty, most of the work is cleaning up. It will be real easy to paint, there's only 1 dent, I could have in done in a weekend. The good news is after decoding the VIN it is a factory 5.0, that should make it more rare, maybe one of a kind

Its funny cause I stopped by my brothers on the way back and I was all exicted and saying look how clean it is and they all laughed. But to us car guys a 25 year old car with barely any rust and 1 dent is clean

I'm sure one of the T top experts will correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my recollection that NO T top or convertible Fox Mustangs were factory built. That all of 'em were converted by Cars and Concepts in Brighton, Michigan.

ORIGINAL: notchbackmatt87

was this made into a t top or acually came factory t top?
I was only attempting to clarify the above statement made by a previous poster. that all of 'em were "made into a t top" from a solid roofed car. Granted, some by Cars and Concepts for the factory and others by Cars and Concepts and other companies for dealers and individuals.
