This is now in my yard.

that engine may need some attention & parts.

Did you catch the perpetrator   :?:  :?:

Would be nice yard art...if it had the front end on it.

A local scrap metal yard pllled a similar '57 in recently. It's a standard shift 292 powered one. I don't need another project but  I keep seeing it as a whisky runner that looks like a sheriff's car. I would think it could be bought. I never did like the '58s  because they just look like a '57 that was made look ugly by adding extra headlights. GPster

Now that looks like an intense project. I'm sure you're capable but I did notice all the question marks in the title....

I dug a '57 out of the weeds a few years ago too.

George...you left that 57 retractable behind? Should've grabbed it too to sell for parts. I had a rust bucket 57 flip top in HS. Sold it to the junkman for $50 in the late 60's. Geez...

[tomslik]

so, is it a 332 or a 352?

[chimp koose]

Needed something to use up the rest of your mustang parts on ?

[kb426]

Bob, I plead 5th amendment. George, I'd be more excited if this was a 2 door. Tomslik, it's what's left of a solid lifter 332. The engine was wore out and that's why it was parked decades ago. The oil pan is rusted off. I did salvage a good air cleaner and the valve covers. There is a set of solid lifter rocker shafts that might be salvageable. This had a 3 speed manual trans. The trans is not part of the deal but the bell housing and all the rest of the clutch linkage is. There are some sellable items and some usable items. CK, the only mustang part I have left is the driveshaft. Everything else is either on the 51 or in the trash dump. Surely the mojo won't procreate.

Cobble up something for a derby...  :?:  :?:  :?:

I know a dude who worked on a pair of black convertibles like that.  

Sounds as though you're doing as I might if it fell in my lap- pick off whats still potentially edible then the pooch gets the scraps.

KB ..The adjustable rocker assemblies are worth $$$$$$$$....Lookie at that auction site to verify ..

Bob, it would sure be nice to be not as deep in the hole for a change.

[chimp koose]

Put a tractor grille on it , wrap it in barbed wire and call it a rat rod . Somebody would buy it !

[kb426]

I bought this maybe as much as 10 years ago. I intended to remove the dash from it. I got to thinking about Grote's spacetruck and thought the rear end could be useful. I've since noticed that people have used the ribbed roof panel for hot rod projects. If I could buy front sheet metal for it, I might consider a restomod project. As it sits today, I believe disassembly  is inevitable. I'm collecting parts and a thread on my next hot rod project will begin soon. I want to have most of the parts laid out so you won't be wasting time looking at 1 part at a time.
