Dave... when we went and retrieved the parts car last summer it ripped apart. It was down in the dirt and the floor peeled right out of it and the front clip stayed put also, with only the steering column/sector hold it on. I purchased it so we would know how the wiring would go back in place in a couple of years not realizing it would be at least 25 years later. I actually did take some bumper brackets off of it before the guy junked it...... I bought...no I bartered for it from the junk yard.

I did buy a quite nice 65 coupe from that same junk yard...... that's what stopped the work on the Fastback in the first place. That coupe was missing the engine & tranny do we took the one from the Fastback and put it in the coupe. The only rust on it was the bottom/rear of the quarter panels. It fixed them and spot painted other areas, the car was pretty sharp; he drove it for several years.

The guy that has the engine told me that it was built by a local engine shop, it was bored .30, hypertonic flat top pistons, new crank, Ford gt 40p heads with valve job, com 260h cam, Edelbrock intake with Holley carb, new waterpump & gasket, header for 92 - 96 F-150, he also came down to $1,000 on it. The need for an engine is a long way off but I told him that I'd check with him in a couple of months and if he still had it I'd buy it.
