I was surfing away tonight looking for something different to do to a 65 Fastback. I am thinking about purchasing one buts its kinda of a rust bucket. Pans, cowls, lowers, and the normal crap. Cheap-cheap though. So why not put some creative thinking and craftsmanship to use. So I am just wondering if anyone has some radical design ideas or thoughts. A drawing or rendering would be great. I have a few things in my mind but also would like tohear yours.

Is the car anything special ? A GT or K code perhaps ?

No it wasa "T". Now its only a rusty body. No engine, no seats, interior,dash,etc.

well youve got the terlingua type racer, that was gunna be my idea...so make it look stock as hell and then have a 427 with dual quads or something and a big ole shot of the bottle and an auto tranny. with some like 4.56 gears. and cut outs, so it can be uber quiet, then BLAM! basically im saying make a sleeper.

I love the running bucket Emp. About a year ago, a friend sent me several photos of the original car. Most of these have never been publicized. So, I guess its one of those "get to it some day" projects, but I will probably put it back in true race form. Loosing the bumpers, carpet, mufflers,(you gotta like that one), cowl hoses for cooling etc. I've had the itch for something a little different since finishing the Eleanor. So far I have settled on a side profile but am a little unsure on the front and rear. Maybe something a little modern for the front, and a modified classic look for the rear. I would love to have the wireless engine look also. Ideas?

smooth out the body take all the crome off take the door handles off and put airbag shocks on it so wen u open the car it lowers and wehn u start it, it raises

Thats a new thought. Remote opener or smooth handles?

OOO I like that remote opener idea, that would be so cool. I like the sleeper idea, you just need to find something new and different to do with that sleeper. I'm not sure what though

well if he did tht he would have to make the front end do down first
