Eric, ALL Mexico cars are strange! The strange part is the actual 87/88 nose on it. TBirds sold in Mexico right up to 1990 with the 83-86 nose. I have a ton of pics of an 89 TBird I almost drug home (Mexican "Sport Turbo" model hehe).

I dunno I kinda like it.  True it does need some TLC but it could look nice, someday.

If i had the money, and the means, i would buy the car, and take it home.

Take it to an upolstery shop, have a top re-worked, or at least stretched over the frame better, paint it, do some interior swapping, and have a very unique car. I like it.
It's Gumby's fault.

Do you think that they thought of reinforcing the floor pan? If not, I can't imagine the body staying straight for long.

Umm, yeah, it does't look right. Now I'm glad they never made a real Thunderbird convertible. On a 4 eye, it would probably look okay but an 87-88? Even an 87-88 Cougar wouldn't look right as a vert IMO.

I noticed the older steering wheel, but figured it was so obvious it wasn't worth mentioning :dunno:

I like the look WITHOUT THE TOP ON!!!, but I'm in doubt for the windshied mounts, and the frame reinforcement, I guess I'll run over a bump, and the winhield crack and the doors don't open after that :grinno: :grinno: ...

This look nice, but the top is an horror, and again, I'm very very curious to see the job was made on that car, hmmmmm!...

I guess some KLINGONS worked on that eheheh!, and don't thrust the job...:grinno:

And at this price, put a decent radio in the dash and the insignifiant gauges in the empty space of the dash (over the radio), Ishhhh!, NO, I don't want to see the rest of the car finally...

The guy actually did something a whole bunch of us here would most likely be afraid to do.  He took a perfectly good hardtop and rip it up via a DIY ragtop conversion.  For the price you could get it and get a good vinyl top and reinforce the chassis so it would be sturdy and look nice and complete. 

There is no way I would take my current cat and hack into it.  Maybe a v-6 that I found at a salvage yard for a few buck, but not the one I've put this much time and effort in.  Not by myself anyway.....
