Not Ranked
I know of a NAF 289 FIA that could probably be had for around12-15k, IF the owner will sell--it has sat uncompleted for several years--has a rebuilt 302, ford 8" solid diff, and what looks like a Mustang II front end, Tremac trans, Cobra type "Halibrand" wheels and BFG's, has leather seats and doorpanels, wiring looks complete but gauges need to be installed, body is mounted, doors, trunk, hood are off, but are there wraped in tarps, body is painted, there are boxes of parts with gauges, etc, sidepipes, rollbar and misc. parts and pieces. Looks like a lot of care was taken as far as the build goes, wiring is bundled, labeled, things are neat and tidy, not cobbled together
I have no idea if the engine runs or the cars condition mechanically, and I've no Idea about the quality of a NAF, they are now defunct as a builder as far as I know. The owner owns the hangar/warehouse one of my subs has rented for the last several years. Brad told me about the car and that the owner, at age 67, was selling out and moving out of state to warmer climes, and Brad was going to buy the building--Brad said the car has sat under tarps since he moved in and was hardly touched after his first year or so there--it is in a walled off section of the building--I've only seen it once and not for that long--I tried contacting the owner, and briefly talked with him--he said he would call me back but has not done so yet.
I'm not a mechanic either but IF the mechanicals are good, wouldn't take that much expertise to finish the car and it would be very affordable IF the owner would sell.
