I met a local man a few days ago that is getting rid of some cars and parts. One of his cars was an 87 GT. He had purchased a T-top conversion kit for it but never installed it. The car is now gone and he asked me to see if there was any interest in his T-top kit.

I have seen the T section and two glass panels. I think he said he had 3 glass panels but I don't know which side he has two of. He also mentioned sun shades. I did not see them so I don't know if he still has them. I would guess that if he does still have them, they would be included. He also has a box of weatherstripping and trim pieces. I don't know what all is in there and I doubt he does either. He mentioned locks so I assume they are there.

Does anyone have an interest in these parts? What is the going rate for this stuff? Do people normally pick up this sort of thing or can these pieces be shipped safely (and economically)?

Any comments or suggestions for this sort of thing would be much appreciated. If you have any questions, I'll try to get answers to them. He is supposed to take some pics and send them to my phone. That's all I have right now.

Pictures

There is a bit of interest, there was just someone asking in the general chat area, & two people recently created 'how to' topics in technical.

Interested in the t-top conversion, how much do those go for usually?

Less than $200 to ship mine from Omaha to me here just south of Houston,Tx.

I am interested. I sent u a PM.

I would be interested in the third panel if it happens to be for the driver side, and in good condition.

I just sent a text asking for pics and which side the extra glass fits.

From my search here in the forum Mall, it looks like these kits sell for $4-500 plus shipping. Does that sound about right? I'm open to offers by PM of course being contingent on satisfaction with the pics, etc.

I'm going to go pick up the parts tomorrow so I can separate them, clean them up a bit and take decent photos. Then we can see what is here and we can determine if the kit is complete. I will need your help with that since I don't know what a complete kit consists of.

I picked up the parts. This is how I received them just a few minutes ago. I have not tried to clean them up or anything. They had been in storage for about 5 years. I do know one side is missing a locking cylinder and the side that has one present has no key.





















Here is an original C&C book:



Here is a stack of printed pages with color pictures showing the installation process:

U have a PM

I cleaned up the side with the lock cylinder. The glass is completely in tact. That is not to say it couldn't benefit from some glass polishing. The whiteish line around the edge looks to be where the panels have been overlapped by the rubber seals. This effect could have been caused by removing and re-installing while dirt was present. It might also just be some calcium deposits left from washing the car without thorough drying.

Call me on my cell and I can tell you what I don't see in your pictures. PM sent with my cel number. I will need your area code so I can answer the call. I don't answer numbers I don't know usually.

I would love to have scans of those pages with the pictures.

Still available. Make an offer.

Dropping the price to increase interest.

$350 plus shipping for everything including the C&C book, the printed DIY instructions, and the extra passenger side glass (if you want to pay postage on it).

Very tempting. What would shipping be to 27410 (Greensboro, NC)?

Maybe I could meet you in Asheville with it? Would have to calculate my fuel cost if you are interested.

PM returned.

Would this work on an 85 GT that has the factory sunroof already?

All Fieros are made with a sunroof. Some just have a solid panel over them. No joke. Any Fiero will have to be modified to accept a T-top. The process to modify all Fieros will be the same except for the inherent differences between fastback and notchies and the different options such as sunroofs or solid tops and subwoofer controls, etc.

Mine is a notchback and I will be installing the subwoofer control I bought.
Will this work with that?

I have received a down payment for the T-top.

Did this end up being sold??
Thanks!

And if not. I will send money post haste! Let us know.

Sold and shipped today!

man, that's a shame to see a complete t-top conversion AND a manual going for $350. The last few I saw went for $650-700. No wonder fieros and parts aren't worth anything anymore.

I still have my kit for sale $600 and it is complete. The problem is shipping it, as that raises the price.

Keep in mind that this one had no headliner, torn seals and was missing parts. I think $350 was fair.

Also that I was more interested in saving the parts than making a profit on them. I was going to continue to drop the price weekly until they sold for whatever they brought.

I just heard from the guy I bought the t-top from. He has found the missing parts. I will pick them up tonight. I need my buyer to contact me.

I still have most of my T-top setup left for sale. Top glass, locks, mechanisms, corner trims, A & B pillars, dome light, front and rear seals (need work). No frame or covers over the mechanism (sold).
