This is a very early Contemporary body with square edges rather than rolled on the top of the doors andrough cut front flares. The top shock mounts are wrong and I don't know about those motor mounts. FE mounts would have a plate to bolt the Galaxy/Fairlane type mount to. Not your casual project :-)

Those engine mounts are 351C mounts.

Wow, this is a raw early body with nothing done to it. This is early as is mine however the openings are not even trimmed. There are a ton of missing parts as well, even some structural. Hope the buyer is ambitious as it will not be a deal based on the reserve.

Basically this is a frame and body with some of the suspension parts. Best of luck to him.....

Is that why it is sitting so high up in the back?

I questioned the auctioneer about the motor mounts which he said the "owner said" it is setup for a big block. The frame looks just like mine which is # 17. It may be possible that the early cars were setup to use Mustang big block mounts which should work,I used Mustang mounts for my Cleveland, they probably when with the Fairlane style mounts later because they weren't reproducing the Mustang ones at that time.
