wow $15k, kinda pricy to me, even if it is brand new without rust. Still would be lots of fun, but I want a fastback not a vert.

Does Ford include an MSO with the ones they sell?

I love mustangs, but to start with a bare shell - I'd rather have a cobra kit car for the same money.

Dynacorn - same company that pops Camaros, Chevelles, Chevy trucks, etc out.

Good stuff, made in Taiwan.

A little pricey...yes but i have seen rusty 64-66 going for half the price of new "virgin" bodys. Rusty verts scare me.

Bob Drake is offering a 'new' '40 Ford coupe for around $15K. Reviews are pretty good. I'm not sure I could weld 'new' sheetmetal.......

anyone that thinks 15k is over priced has never seen a bodyshop bill for the body work for most these cars..
floors, rockers, fender 1/4 door skins ect etc.. it adds up fast

Echo.

That sir, is the 15,000.00 question. I don't think they can put a vin on what is kind of a body in white?

Its pricy for me, but I can do the labor myself. Compared to rebuilding a severely rusted hulk at a decent shop, its quite a bit more affordable. No rust to fix, just get to smoothing, and bolting stuff on. I could rebuild a rusted out hulk cheaper, but I am not the typical gearhead.

I can see a market for them. Personally I'd like to see the cost drop to $10k or less to compete with the true rusty crap that people are selling original ones for.

I've had that thought about the Firebird shell Dynacorn sells. If I'm going to buy a Firebird and replace the whole under carriage/suspension anyways, the cost can be a push. And then the body will likely need a work over anyways (hopefully not too severe though..) so a fresh body would be nice. It's all the nickel and dime'ing that adds up in the way of wiring, glass, interior, etc that's kind of nice to have from a "used" car, though there are enough re-pop stuff out there to make a whole dang car. $10k get's me thinking, $8k would seriously get me considering a purchase.
