it had salvage certificate and I bid her out at Copart in the TN (while I live in Europe). Then my friend let it to be towed to California, bought me spare parts (about 2300 $ incl. new exhaust) and let it shipped it over to me over Atlantic...
New paint was about 1200 $ (they had to actually paint almost everything apart from the hood), metalwork was another 1000$ and rest (undressing, geometry, setting up new lights system etc..) was another 1000$

of course it wasnt at official Ford's but at my friend's shop. And of course I had to pay container, customs and bunch of other ****, but still I think budget was OK

OH! I totally misunderstood, I thought it was damaged in shipment. You actually bought it that way. Well that's cool, glad you brought it back to life! It was probably destined for a crusher if you hadn't saved it!
