Maybe push it back into the barn for another 40...     orange swiss cheese here...   needs frame rails front and back


If it had the 3.55 "performance axle package" wouldn't that be on the fender tag as A36?

This is a first for me, I don't recall ever seeing interior trim rust out...Not even the Barrelcuda.... :thinking:

That happened on my '65 Mustang Fastback.  Why I don't know.  The replacement had to be fabricated.

geez, I'm surprised it's at 13K already. 

hood is trashed as it's dented.  Might be fixable.
Both front fenders have rust holes in the front top and the front sides.
Both headlight buckets missing.
NOM motor. 
rust on the door above the vin sticker
rust on the rocker top behind the sill plate
Surprisingly the floors don't look that bad, but each indent has rust in it.   
tail panel is rusted, at least has no paint left on it due to water drips.
rear quarters are toast
Inners are toast
front fender dog legs are rusted
pass door has rust in the front bottom
who knows what's behind the rocker trim
Looks like the front valance even has some rust on it.
Front valance grill is gone
main grill has a hole in it
drivers door has rust on the front bottom
Looks like one of the grill turn lights is there! 
rear valance is rusted. 
Since I can look through the drivers rear quarter I would assume the rails are toast as well.
trunk drops are gone
Rear valance appears to have rust where it connected to what was the rear quarter.
front drivers rail has holes in it
Front inner fender at battery has holes in it
transmission mount has holes
front drivers floor is apparently gone
rear passengers floor is gone also
where the rear rail mount has rust also
rear passenger rail is almost gone.  No holes that I can see
rear drivers rail is gone
trunk floor is gone
the torsion bar crossmember has holes in it
HEY!  Transmission is numbers matching
So, the firewall doesn't appear to be rusted.  So the roof and the firewall don't have rust that I can see from the pics.

Holy crap.  I thought I bought some rusty crap. This thing is beat.

I'm just surprised the price is as high as it is.
