- So I found this 4 eye T-Top not too far from my house. It started paying me back as soon as I got it home LOL! Not sure what I am going to do with it based on the motor. If you're interested email me info@theinfamousproject.com

#foxbody #t-top - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Great find, big 4 eyed fan.
I'm from the Rust Belt, it's weird how we get excited for something that has solid floors and frame rails 😄
Heck yeah that thing is mint!
Truth! In north east 75% of fox bodies left have frame rail rot
Great find man, I'm a big 4-eye fan.
Bought my 85 T-Top in similar condition 3 years ago. I used marvel mystery oil in the cylinders to free it up. It had sat for 20 years all the fluids had gelled lol.
I have 3 foxes now, hopefully I’ll get half the amount you have! Keep it up, when I see your cars it’s nothing but motivation
Appreciate that. Honestly though it's a pain in the ass owning so many cars.
Good find. T-top 4 eye👍. I was hoping you would get it started but when I heard the noise in the oil pan I said “ Game Over “!!
Hopefully someone takes it off your hands
Can’t wait to see the progress!
Looks like a great score ! Have You ever tried to use Marvel mystery oil to break the engine free I found that it works very well for Me . I would still go through the engine especially if it's a number matching block .
Best Wishes and Thanks for the update . 🇺🇲🇵🇷🦊👍
If you keep it
Can you please do a video on all the trim weatherstrip ttops , windows
I have 86 ttop and need all the trim pieces and weatherstrip. All the little details quarter window trim everything
Always had a weird want for an aero T top car.
Tool wise you may want to invest in a cheap borescope. They make ones that work with your phone. Comes in handy for more then checking out an engine. Used one to help find dropped tools and all sort of things.
always loved the T birds over those (had a turbo t bird before my 86) but they aren't a bad look when done correct. agree on the borescope and a $20 infrared scanner gun. You'll always know if your temp guage is correct (1986 Fords tend to have an issue with the voltage regulator in the gauge panel) and can always use it elsewhere around the house.
Awesome! I was hoping for you to get lucky and get it to fire up for us. 😔 At least you gave us something cool to look at. 👏
Ya man I tried lol
That would be a good first project. Those engines are stupid simple to rebuild with a manual. My neighbors 15 year old daughter is rebuilding an 81 coupe while he and I fly overwatch. He bought her a SA Designs "How to build a small block Ford engine" book and made her look up all the torque values and make a chart for every bolt on the car before she even started. She's supposed to be paying for it all but her birthday is coming up so I'm pretty sure Stock interiors is going to "miss ship me a 79-81 mustang molded carpet" to me for my 80 Fairmont project.
When I graduated in 1985 I wanted a bright red with grey interior 5 speed 1985 GT hatchback with a sunroof. I did test drive one but didn’t have the money for it. I got a 5.0 4 speed Pace Car in 1987 instead.
Another project find, really big fan of the 4 eyes, not so much into T-tops but cool anyway.
Great find man I have an 88 coupe but I luv a 4 👁 car
Marvel mystery oil always has worked really well for me on seized up engines.... administered the same.
Kool find keep up the good work
Good Buy & video Chris. It really IS a Nice car. Being from MI It's well appreciated & It would make a Great Project car for your friend's son. 4 eyed T-Tops Are *Scarce* (Rarity?? eh... ) You certainly Don't see many 4-eyes at car shows let alone Ford shows With the T-Top Option !!! I have an '84 GT T-Top Believe me I look & Notice. Certainly a Stallion to Be Saved.
I wish I saw this video when it came out. I am in Austin, and I am looking for a red T top car to fix up. One of my best friends in high school had a red '83 with t tops. I tweaked his engine (timing and carb) and he could lay down rubber all the way through 1st gear. Not bad for "only" 175hp. His gas mileage went from 15mpg to about 10mpg LOL.
Awesome score. My first new car was one of those, wish I still had it. Loved the interior, and of course a carburetor car. Have to make due with my 91 GT.
You can buy this one and restore it!
@@TheInfamousProject how can I get in contact with you about the 85 T-Top
@@michaelmitchell7817 via my website or email info@theinfamousproject.com
That car is a great find. It's close enough to original If I were you I would personally keep it and it restore it to stock. Absolutely worth it in the long run as you will get good money for it and it's not a basket case with tons of rust. I would be curious if that is the original engine and if you can save it.
I'm sure it probably is the original engine. Most likely could be opened up and rebuilt.
Sorry to hear about the motor. I had a 1985 T-Top GT, white with gray interior. It would for sure be a cool project.
Ya can't win them all. The rust free body is the important part
@@TheInfamousProject Agree 100%
Glad ur tryna save it i luv 4eyes
Great find infamous.
Thanks
Last year for the carb GTs those mustangs would bust all the new IROCs TRANSAMs.VETTs .had a friend had a 85 out ran ever thing in our area back in the day .this one be a number one car for resto it's all there and looks like as a solid body is pull the engine do a rebuild on it 0ut a new clutch. pressure plate.u jouints leve the factory rims on it do a paint job back to OG and drive it this would be a great car to do a series on .lot of fox body fans like this gen to me it was the best 85 to 93 as always been my fav in the fox body mustang s
Yep this car has a lot going for it. Easier if someone buys it though as I have so much going on
@@TheInfamousProject yea I noticed you do have a lot of proc some one will swoop this car up for sure I'd take it my self live to have it just to far away gas prices is killing ever thing at this time great car thow man like your channel ,,😎👍
@@davidmaggard2796 thanks man I appreciate your support
@@TheInfamousProject you for sure got a new sub hear 👍😎
I had to double check to make sure I wasn’t watching Derek from Vice Grip Garbage lol. Another great video man. I can watch this type of stupid content all day.
Great video
man the best stuff for rust i ever seen is called "Free All" i find it at Oreillys
Last year of carburetors and a little tweaking I was told it would run with a grand national . Put a Dana rear end with a low gear for drag racing. People liked these cars for drag racing because of the carburetors . They could be modified no computer to worry about.
Ya if you're a carbureted guy then this is the best year to have.
That year 1985 was serious contender for the 1985 corvette. Corvette road and track was 6.4 seconds. Pretty bad when the mustang was stock with out modification.
Honestly that was good find. Looks like all it has is surface rust perhaps....
Ya just primer that sat outside too long
I was told long ago if you bought a bonded car in America and brought it to Canada the title goes back to unbonded.do you know if that's true ?also did I see a blue water rad hose on it..isn't that for police intercepted engine ?
Love it I had one just like it Red with Ttops
Do you still have it and how much do you want for it
Goals!!
Love it
what's with the cap?
This is nostalgic for me I had a 85 ft in high school but mine was in a thousand times better shape it was black with this Checkerboard pattern on the seats it had Five star wheels an I put a saleen wing on it which a look back then but now days its ugly but it was such a sick to own at that age
just got back into the game bought a notch on Saturday wild strawberry orig 5.0 only 8k😎 I think I got a good deal‼️
Awesome congrats!
That car has potential :)
Home carpet upgrade!
You should never leave the house without your coffee. Big mistake. Haha 😄
Agreed
Send it up north to Alex!
I need parts for my sons ‘83 gt. My wife bought it when she was 15.
Is this car still around 🤔
Would like to see you make it cool again.
Had a chance to buy an 85 back n da early 2000's from a co worker for 3geez! I didn't want it bcuz it was carburetor but it was in really nice shape n running condition. I regret it now! Hahahaha..
I'll sell you this one for less than 3! lol
Man you must be livin right. I can NEVER run across any deal on a car thats worth a shit much less find free money. Damn
Id think fluid film would be perfect to spray in those cylinders. That stuff eats rust and coats/soaks into the metal its bad ass stuff.
Ya if only the bottom end wasn't out of it lol
Yes of course, ohwell still a good buy man.
i would definately take it off your hands if i were near texas but in ain't worth it for me to purchase and have it transported back east.
Nice
Wow that’s nice
my first brand new car was a 85 Silver GT 5.0 5sp with T-Tops just like this I am looking for a Mint Silver 85 GT 5.0 5sp T-Top car if any one knows of one ? p.s. I LIKE the 4 headlight front ends ,I hate the "Humpty Dumpty" Headlights (87-93) !!!
Dude.
I just got an ‘86 LX 5.0
Not much better condition
Same jalapeño red
Same patina
$1000
Can’t wait to start my restoration
I know this is months old but.....is your 86 a AOD or T5 ? Is the engine mostly stock and all there? Canyon Red interior?
Try some Marvel Mystery oil, don’t know what’s in it, it’s a mystery!🦊
Damn, IP is hard core trying to make this FOX do something. I think we need to leave this one alone.
Did this car sell, or do you still have it?
Gone
I'll guess that piece of metal in the oil pan came from a spun bearing. Which might be why the engine just barely turns. If I didn't have so projects already. We would have to have a serious talk about your car.
Hence the video I just released lol
@@TheInfamousProject And where is this video you speak of.? I checked your you tube page and it's not listed. The newest one is of you talking about how many cars you have.
Is that a speed control steering wheel ?....1 of 985 built in 1985..just watched a guy doing a Marty report check on 85 t top cars.
You should buy the car
@@TheInfamousProject you should ship all your goods deals home to Canada..
Also I checked out your website..it has changed alot since the last time I checked it out..but I can only find sold cars on it..
@@automotiveaddiction428 ya most stuff sells before I even get the chance to post them up
I had a white with Grey strip gt with t tops when it was 5 years old . Mine had power windows and 5 speed transmission. That year from factory could do 0 to 60 in 6.5 seconds according to road and track. Faster than camaro and trans am that year. I found in the Grove box where the people had financed it when new from a bank and they had payed over twenty thousand dollars for it after financing. I only payed $3900.00 for with 750000 miles on it. That is the year they had stainless headers and roller tappets and aluminum intake with a 585 cfm holley 4 barrel carb from factory . Sweet motor. The car would actually white smoke the tires.
What are you asking for the car if you still have it?
It's gone... I have a 82 coupe available now though
Chris sell it to gearhead. He wants a 4 eye. Tiff can clean up that paint quick. 🤷🏼♂️
He's holding out for my 86
It will take him 10 years to finish this one
@@charliebruceortega8447 lol. I hope he says challenge accepted
I saw you on Facebook looking for fenders???
Nope not me
I have a carburetor motor for one. What will you sell it for?
Taking offers
@@TheInfamousProject what’s your price for it? It’s what I need
@@larrybenthall2325 2500
@@TheInfamousProject I would like to counter your price at $1500 for the roller.
@@larrybenthall2325 2k and I pull the motor and trans
That is missing a ZERO in Michigan...
Lol
You need a shade tree
10 years in Dubai... This is nothing
Let me have it 🥺
I would throw a bag of puppies into a river for a 4-eyed T-Top car.
Where you located ?I’d love to come look at it.
Hutto TX
Coffee....what one is better TIM HORTONS..OR DUNCAN DONUTS ?
LMAO.. Tim Hortons is absolute rat piss. Macdonalds all the way
I'll give you 3 Barra engine's for it
Dude Dass my car 🤣🤣🤣
dang ill trade you a 88 coupe for that t top car......
What are the details
@@TheInfamousProject its probably to far away ...and its actuly a 86 coupe with a 88 parts carneed a total restoration ....no engine or trans ....all interior in good shape .....cept carpet and headliner and im in Virginia
It will cost 20k just to build it😢
Pretty sure the bumper alone is worth $800
It's cracked on the bottom. I have another one for sale for 500 and no one has bought it
@@TheInfamousProject someone is going to need it eventually and that’s day’s price will not be yesterday’s price. 😬
Maybe he put the $200 there.
Doubt it. It had been in there a while you could tell
Yikes, that's a downer.
Marvel works better for freeing up a motor
