Isn't that price a tad steep?

A complete body is $15k, and his is half a body and half the price so the price is spot on... lol

These people put stuff like this on Ebay, knowing that there's someone out there that's ignorant about Mustangs and will end up paying that silly price for the hunk of metal, I'm not even going to call it a Mustang. As Charles' key word was......"Parts".....

Oh, so that's how they fit the mustang in the elevator to get it to the top of the Empire State Building  ;)

Yea, and it looks like they cut off the back to make a couch or something too!

I think sometimes people post items like these just for advertising purposes alone. True, somebody not familiar with capabilities of restoration might actually pay over 7K for 1.5K worth of rusty parts but the fact remains, if you had the Mustang's actual story, say it belonged to ANYBODY famous or notorious, this "junk" would be a steal at 7K

Whenever I see cars like this I always wonder…..why????
I don't always downshift, but when I do it is near a Prius so they can hear me hurting the environment.
