Yeah, specially for us who don't have the dough to buy a decent one to begin with, but on the long run you dish out more $ on a basket case than on a good one. Alas, classic muscle cars in good condition are hard to find around here, and the prices that they ask for them are sometimes ridiculous, even for beaters. That's how it is in Puerto Rico. So #$%&%$@!

As much as I love Mustangs those look like donor cars pretty much...Just useable for parts. You'd be better off just getting a replacement body and building one yourself or have someone do it for you.

Couldn't find it. Didn't have a lot of time, but yer right, I wish I had gotten a picture of something recognizable. Didn't see any real signs or even street signs.
The vans we will rip apart and turn into a makeshift cargo plane, which we will use to fly all those forgotten 'Stangs to freedom.....just as soon as I get all the duct-tape and beer in order... .......and find MacGyver.
Yeah, pretty much. I'm surprised so many have their windows in good condition. Speaking of which, you could probably make a few bucks selling just the windows. I'm sure people restoring, or folks with chips/broken windows, would love a stock replacement.
Me...I'd settle for a few emblems and bits...conversational stuff.

I think that with that amount of parts you can make at least one complete running car. They're just idiots.

Parting them would be a very wise solution if I were the owners, but looks that they are idiots who prefer to let them keep rotting away instead of making something out of them. Maybe they're thinking that they're worth as much as good ones. Yes, there are people that stupid around here. ![Mad](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)

I don't agree....parting them out makes them disappear forever. With all the reproduction parts now available a car as special as a Shelby or Boss could be rebuilt....yes at a greater cost than a good one but there aren't exactly that many of them around anymore now is there? Regular models...sure, they can be parts cars but the special ones are worth putting back together....and some of them even worth the expense of shipping them back to the U.S. as is and rebuilding them.

Tropical heat and moisture probably mean they are badly rotted and just rust held together by pealing paint. The VIN numbers for the Shelbys, and a new Dynacorn 68 shell and you could be in business. How much of the original car do you need to use and still be able to use the original VIN?
