Damn shame , wish I could get it to fix but too much of a project for me at this time

 

[Gold Rush]

Looks good from the drivers side then ouch! no engine or trans though and really need those to make it worth the big bucks.

::shrug::

Bummer! Looks like a parts car to me.

 

[captthundarr]

Gonna need a paint job.....

 

[auron73mach1]

minor body damage... perfect job for eric

 

[JimNiki]

Let's not start a rebody war, we're all sick to death of 'em, but out of curiosity can somebody change the front clip and still legally register the car with its original boss vin?

 

[auron73mach1]

eric (mister4x4) replaced the front end of his 71

 

[JimNiki]

Did he keep the vin stamped on the original fender?

I know I would....

 

[gpierce]

Can you drop one on top of a new mustang ala West Coast Customs??

 

[87fox72mach]

What you guys think it will go for?

 

[auron73mach1]

2k just because it was a boss

 

[Mister 4x4]

Did he keep the vin stamped on the original fender?

I know I would....

Yes, I did. However, the stampings are on the tops of the shock towers under the fenders.

However, the VIN on the dashboard is what the typical vehicle safety inspector is going to look at, for the sake of convenience and not having to remove the fenders just to view the stampings on the shock towers, IF they're even aware of the stampings on the shock towers in the first place.

Somebody will buy the VIN tag and get the car for free.

I suppose it could happen... however, my original front clip went to a metal reclamation scrap yard - again, without the VIN stampings (I plasma-cut them off before loading it up on the scrap trailer).

I'm thinking they'd make a dandy key chain fob.

It sold for $3560.00

 

[73vertproject]

It sold for $3560.00

To me that seems to be incredible since there is no drivetrain and there is major body and frame damage.

Boss Title, Boss Vin#'s and Boss parts, maybe he's got a nice 71 Boss clone that's about to triple in value. Probably not the case, could be someone just willing to take on a challenge... but for 20-30K profit people will do a lot of things, especially if they have the equipment and know how.

I can see your point, Jim. I thought that the real value in the Boss came from the drivetrain and badging, not so much the rest of it.
