This one takes the cake A T code with a chevy engine

[Carolina_Mountain_Mustangs]

This is one of those fabled T codes that does not exist. They trashed it. Could have been a very expensive car. I know of three this would have been four. Should have been a 427 car if I recall correct. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Ford-Mustang-vin-0T02G111988-/254128898693?fbclid=IwAR2HRs4UQICqfc6uB4DLHtd-xR6gW6R0kzK-hya7phqd_xReBDt86u_Q_zU

Some people are just stupid.

At least the bow tie is blue.

G code is a Boss 302, but....

 

[kcmash]

I thought the 5th digit in that year being a G code represents a Boss 302.  Not time to look up the T right now.

It was originally a Metuchen built 1970 Boss 302 now with a 69 front end, a camaro like tail panel and a Chevy small block! What a shame to have done that to a real Boss 302.

In their defence, it may have been butchered before they bought it, BUT whomever did this in the first place should be SHOT AND PISSED ON!!

Makes me sick. It's bad enough when ever some idiot puts a Chevy engine in a Ford, any Ford, but this!

Looks like the B2 site says all of them were assembled in Dearborn (F) and so a Metuchen B2 shouldn't exist.

 

[secluff]

There actually are (T) Metuchen built 70 Boss 302's. Just not in the numbers as great as the Dearborn cars. There are subtle differences between the Dearborn and Metuchen built cars. The 69 Boss 302, 69/70 Boss 429 and 71 Boss were built exclusively in Dearborn.

But at this point it wouldn't make any difference if this Boss David found on E Bay was built in Egypt. There is so little left of the original car,it barely qualifies to even be labeled a Boss. With a Chevrolet frame, suspension, powertrain, 69 front clip and those Firebird tail lights, this car is nothing more than  something with a desirable VIN. I really hate to see something as iconic as these Boss cars end up like this one.  (

And...for $10.000.00 CASH ONLY, this pup can be yours!   

 

[Hemikiller]

LOL, the B2 site wrong - again....

Pay careful attention to that VIN, bet some "enterprising" individual will find a way to "restore" it.

 

[secluff]

Lol   Hemikiller. Since our 71-73's don't qualify as real Mustangs according to the 65-70 Club, they probably figured we would never know the difference anyway!!

Yep, the Vin off a car such as this one, with no hope of ever being restored to any form of its former glory concerns me. This Vin will probably show up one day at Barrett Jackson as a original owner ,garage kept show queen worth a King's ransom.

I'm sure you have seen the same thing on Graveyard Carz on Velocity. They bring in something that looks like it fell off a cliff and was left to the elements for 50 years. After replacing everything but the Vin plate....and now with a wave of the magic wand, we have a brand new whatever ready for the big bucks at Barrett Jackson.

Wish there was some way to track these "Desirable" Vins from cars that are beyond any reasonable chance of ever being restored.

Just like a GM friend of mine who restores cars told me, with all the fake vins and Vin switching going on, there are more Z-28's and SS Chevelles on the road now than GM ever built!

BTW guys I did not find this Scotty Stickland the guy with Mustang junk yard sent me the link. He love 69 &70 cars has a bunch of them.

 

[Hemikiller]

It's been on eBay a couple times from the links I found, starting last fall.

Steve - so true. They poo-pooed the 71-73s for decades, until the "Boss" name became too hard to resist. Then they figured out the B351 was a better all around car.

 

[donkost]

"The car is on a 1957 Chevy full frame." This I would love to see pictures of. Wow. Well no need for subframe connectors now. lol

They could make more off the book "How to turn a $50,000 car in to a $5,000 car in 10 easy steps.
