As the title suggests.
Suppose you knew someone who has a body shell (purchased approx 20yrs ago), used for about a year and stored ever since. And if that same person was wanting to sell said body shell, what would that body shell be worth? Keeping in mind that it is a genuine shell bought from ford originally. |

VIN & tags (does'nt think it has them) are being checked.
He wants to sell it but does'nt want the attention that goes with it, (tyre kickers). I have known him & his brother for 19yrs (the brother bought & still has my GT coupe). They have a few GT's between them and are well known in their area.. Any suggestions in regards to the best way to sell? I know this person bought it from another so maybe used as a circuit car or something previously??? |

I worked for a panel beater in Clayton Victoria in the eighties and if we got a write off in that still had all good interior and running gear my boss would order a new bodyshell from Ford or Holden and transfer all the damaged cars parts over and put the tags on and stamp new shell,back then it was completely legal to do so through the insurer and vic roads

love hyperthetical questions : )
i would say mmmm, i got no idea : ) but the big expence is all the other bits u need ,trims crome etc etc rear window if u had a stuffed rusted out coupe with all the bits it would b a good option. il toss in 7-10k for a top shell can easy spend that on rust repair ,but no numbers tags n stuff can open a can of worms
