    Looks like a great body! 260 or 289? I love those and Falcons too! Good luck on it,and me being nosy,have to ask what did you pay for it?:)

    It comes with a newly rebuilt 289, and a rebuilt C4. The body has rust at the rear of the front fenders, and a small rust spot behind the left rear wheel. Other than that it is clean as heck. The carpet is out so you can see the spotless floors!! This should be a very nice car when done. This would actually be a great candidate for a "frame off" restoration, but then it wont get driven, so am going to restomod it. It is 13 years older than my mav but the body is 10 times better!! I didnt think $2500 was too bad a price.

    Looks like a small Galaxie. Those wheels look like an old set of Western Wheels Turbines. Great project!(y)
