what do you mean you (did) like ttops

 

I mean, I did like t-tops, until I owned one.

 

whats wrong with the ttop cars in my views they look meaner they have to weigh a little less if your refering to the body twist that can be fixed veary easy so what is your problem with them exactly

 

Welcome. My wife and I have said many times if we were to win the lotto we would retire to Seaside Oregon. I am not sure if you are familiar with this town or how close you are to it. I think he might be against t-tops as they can leak.

 

i live on the other side of the state from sea side i live in medford next to the california boarder i really like the new stang im thinking about painting my 82 ttop that green they re intrduced this year

 

That's a good choice. My roommate in the army had a new 82gt and a friend had an 83 gt. They were both nice. Ever been to Seaside. We went through 14 years ago so I think it has probably grown somewhat.
