Ford now in the kit business?

[tjmotter]

Ok, how would you respond to the question "is it real?" with one of these?

The lines are definitely getting blurry....

If you can paint it then its real......

A 67 fastback?! NOOOO! I was dead set on the 818! Wow I have a tough decision to make in a couple of years :(


Edit.. yeah Im still all for the 818. I mean the 67 fb is one of my all time favorites.. but I think i would much rather have 15k in a running car, not a shell.. Maybe later..

Could you imagine, 65 on the outside, Coyote motor on the inside!!!!!!!!!!!

[onyx_riddle]

Yes and there are some great suspension and IRS mods out for classic Mustangs.

I think this is a very cool idea. What would it cost to finish?
Convertible is also a neat idea, but are the top parts available and what's the cost?

[Richard Oben]

I would think they at a minimum at least 3 times the cost of the shell ($50K). Best bet is to get the nicest wrecked 65 car you can find and pull as many parts as you can INCLUDING THE VIN and have a go. Or buy one that is 40 years old and restored for less money. JMHO, YMMV, Richard.

They have been around for a few years. As a Dynacorn dealer I can sell these or their GM models or when done the Fox chassis.......That last one may be released at Sema this year but I have yet to see it as any more then coming soon on their site

Group 6 track-car here I come. I've been waiting for them to repop the 1st generation fastback. Finishing one as a street car would be very cost prohibitive as it's the little stuff that will nickle-and-dime (or hundred bucks) you to death. But for a track car, nearly all the trim and lighting are not required making it a very cost-effective way to get into a vintage racer.

They had one of these in the ford exhibit at sema..pretty cool.

Dont remember if it was a fb or not tho.

Here in the desert, you can still find mustangs for pretty cheap...think I would rather have a real vin #.

Mark Reynolds at Breeze put me onto them a few months back. You should also look at http://a-47.com, or http://www.agentfortyseven.com/

The Harbinger is essentially a race prepped ground up built roller with the option for you to put a dynacorn body on top.

It made me drool. Repeatedly.

Check the Dynacorn website, They have a '67 fastback on there if that's what you're looking for.

As of a few months ago ALL new set ups like this have a vin # like the FFR thus classifying them as a kit car

Steve, to clarify, it is NOT a VIN, it is an MCO/MSO and it allows titling like the FFR product IF your state has SEMA style titling/registration laws on the books for replicas. So in a state like Florida, it could be titled as a '65/'66 Mustang replica. In other states, not so lucky.

Oh, and if anyone wants more details on the Harbinger, we just ran a feature on it:http://www.mustangandfords.com/featuredvehicles/1964_1973_mustang/mdmp_1110_1969_mustang_sportsroof/index.html

Vaughn Gittin's '69 drifter, the RTR-X is also Dynacorn based:http://www.mustangandfords.com/featuredvehicles/1964_1973_mustang/mdmp_1111_1969_need_for_speed_rtr_x_mustang/index.html

Hmmm, that Agent 47 Harbinger has the gerbil in my head thinking about getting a rolling chassis from them and going from there. Damn forums....
