    1988 Mustang GT

    They were not leftovers that were retagged as an 88's as a lot of people think. It was an option in 88 and was axed part way through the model year of 88. Also there were a few thousand t-top cars built in 88. The numbers were shown through some resent marti reports etc...

     

    I guess the dealers that we talked to in 1988 (over 100), who more than likely talked to Ford (because we were pretty persistent) were all wrong in 1988, when all they were told from Ford was "it was an '87 option, not available on 88's". Memory fades over 33 years too though, maybe I'm misremembering what the dealers told me, maybe they were wrong, it was late Spring 1988, maybe it had been axed by that point and the dealers were right (but we were too late), who knows?. Regardless it's not worth bickering about (especially over a model build--which is looking beautiful, BTW--it's not like it's a real car that one of us is trying to authenticate or something like that, LOL). I'll stand corrected and chalk it up as "I learned something new today". Wishing you and yours a merry Christmas and happy holiday season, my friend. 😊✌

    What Pleased You Today!

    In reverse order (of which pleased me most today):

    1) I found a new 90's mountain bike project (another hobby :) ) on Marketplace for a song. Drove out about 4 miles past my son's house in a neighboring town to look at and get it. Called to see if they were home (was gonna sneak by to see the new-to-us grand kids, LOL), they were not. They were actually in front of me about 4 miles (with too many redlights in front of me to catch them with them already past town), they were on their way to a Christmas party with his fiance's family.

    2) On their way back from that Christmas party, my son and his fiance dropped by a couple hours for a visit. 

    (not even counting all other blessings that we often take for granted) It was  a pretty good day today :)
