at 15,000 a steel bodie not a bad idea.

I wish they would do the same thing with a fastback. I like that style so much more

Holy **** they do

 

I sold an ACTUAL 65 Fastback that was fully restored for $19,000.....this is a rip off.

 

Fact: Cars are rarely worth the sum of their parts.

It's almost always cheaper to by someone elses project car then do the job yourself. I'm pretty sure these are marketed towards people who don't really care what the cost is and want the best possible parts. These bodies will be far better in the long run then a restored one that may be bondoed or weakend by rust or prone to rust.

 

15k is a little steep. I'm sure the cost is there, but I wouldn't pay it.

 

This is how I see it too. It isn't hard to find an old Mustang to restore that already is complete. This is for the high dollar restomod and company display vehicles to have a perfect platform to start with. In the end it can save them a ton of time from not having to do body work and they aren't too concerned with budget in the first place.

On a side note I remember back when Dynacorn first started remaking the old Camaros. There was a big controversy over weather it was the right thing to do and how it would affect the value of the original cars.

 

Read the article a couple of a days ago, so these aren't actually made by Ford but are licensed by them I supposed (would it not be illegal to replicate the body otherwise?). The shells would be awesome for restomods, since they're never really as valuable as restorations anyway. Imagine one of these with an SLA suspension, 5.0 coyote and an adapted 2010+ interior.

 

I would buy a 65 2+2 fastback that is for sale up here first if I had the $, especially since I know the owner

 

A year ago you would've had the chance. I even posted it here before anywhere else lol. Fully built car as well, with the plan of making it a pro-touring car.

 

Not a Resto-mod but a Kit car. Resto-mod from my understanding is taking an old car and changing out most of its old technology with newer better technology whether it be electronics or mechanical. Now they are calling most of these resto-mods pro touring cars because of the suspension set ups these classic pony/muscle cars are getting.

 

I have it now up here, but I'm not out of school yet so not enough $

 

thats cool and all but dang....why so much -_-
