I don't think so, check out this link. http://www.melroset-tops.com/year_differences.htm Do you need a top for a 88? I might have a hook-up for you.

No, it is of a later design.

Someone sells an adapter to make later tops fit earlier models, but I dont know who.

86L-88 have one top and 89 and up have another.The mounting brackets and holes are a bit different.Hope this helps...there maybe be a kit that adapts a 89 and up roof to the 86L-88 coupes.Try ecklers or someone and see what they got.I have a top diagram schematic saved on my computer for the differences in years with the tops.If you want it,email me at cleary321@aol.com and I will send it to you.

I could use a good Blue tint top for my '89 if anyone has. Mine has quite a bit of spiderwebbing. Doesn't have to be new, just good
