I just spotted a wrecked 88 GT T-top on an auction site. Damned if the primary damage wasn't right on the t-top section. I'm guessing this is too far gone to be straightened, and I'm also guessing the T-tops are a complete loss as well. A high mileage car for sure (180K miles) but it looks (looked) pretty darn good and taillights look great.
Of course with that kind of damage you have to hope there were no injuries, or worse, but it's such a shame to lose a car like this. Looks exactly like my car if it were a T-top.
I don't suppose anyone out that way (Maryland) could save this one?
Looks like a tree fell on this car. IMO a difficult repair and with the auction fees the current salvage price is near $750. Who's kidding who? Its not worth it.

Biological damage might have been from a squirrel that rode the tree down. OH @%%$ !!! Hope it wasn't blood from an occupant.
The leather seats, wheels, rear cradle and all suspension parts and the undamaged body panels would easily return a $750 investment. I'd say that it has the original paint job, judging by the VIN tag showing in the license plate recess, so it's probably been well taken care of.
This is a CJB car. Easy fix, light pull to the roof then remove the t-roof section with a replacement one. Get some new glass and your good to go.
The last time I was at the Fiero Factory/TFF Auto in Tony, AL I saw what appeared to be a new t-top I section hanging on the wall. It might be worthwhile to call Jeremy and see if he still has it.
Must be the same car. I'm guessing it did not sell at auction and it ended up in the junk yard. I hope you got some good stuff from it. As I recall from the pictures (dead now) it had some very usable items on it.
If you go back, please take a photo of the SPID label with all the codes, as well as the C&C sticker if it's still there. I'd like to document it before it's gone forever.

Someone should pull the Getrag 5 speed. Those are really getting rare and expensive.
