Robert,

If the car is not complete (at the very least body), I would walk away from it. Without knowing a manufacturer, there is no way to tell if parts from another car could be made to fit what you have on your hands. Do you have pictures you can post? That would help you help us attempt to figure out what it is you are looking at. Same goes for a location of where you are as perhaps there is a local Clubcobra member who can go look at it with you and offer his/her guidance.

Personally, sounds like a project that may never make it to the road, why else would the owner be selling it so inexpensively.

Sincerely,

Bill S.

It is a glass shell with no doors or hood and a steel chassis set up for mustang II suspension. I can probably get both for under a $1000, which seems very reasonable.

My only concerns are that the seller says there is no markings of any sort on the chassis or body and he purchased the chassis and body seperatly, used 20+ years ago so they are probably not the same mfg. Is this something to be concerned with? will doors and hood from other mfg fit? Please give me any input on this project. could it turn into a headache? or is it a very good deal?

Thanks for any help

Robert
