Just read on yahoo that a company is getting the OK from Ford to reproduce the 1965 mustang body out of steel for our enjoyment, just one little catch...it's just the body...no suspension, motor, trans, wiring, glass, top or interior - just a body and bare chassis. Price- $15,000. Not too shabby actually and there's a large amount parts and engine/trans options out there now so finishing it up wouldn't be too bad if you know how to swing a wrench and paint. I guess this same company already sells '67 and '70 bodys{'68 fastback and '69s are my faves}.
Nice news to hear for a guy who's still trying to buy an old car on evilbay without getting outbid...4th time is a charm...right?

Here, this is the place-
Dynacorn

...looking at the GM stuff available I question why we see no front fenders being offered.
Frankly, I'd LOVE to see them do up some late '60s Cougars along with the mustangs. I had a '70 but would love to own a '67-'68...with intact torque boxes!
