Default Is this a 1970 fastback boss?

Just looking at the pictures available do you think this is a real fastback boss? It's got a Toyota conversion.

well if it were a Boss fastback and someone ripped the engine out of it he should be shot.

for all i can see in those pictures it could have been a bog standard 6cylinder fastback where someone replaced te engine with somethign that shouldn't be in there.
hell, from those pictures you can't even terll if it is a real mustang. could be a Mitsubishi Pajero with body mods ...

Yes the 5th digit on the VIN would be a G for a Boss 302

What a crime. I hope no one buys it for any price just to teach the guy a lesson. Even if it was a 6cyl, you just don't put an toyota motor in a classic fb mustang.

What a disgrace.

While I agree with you, I feel more like it should be rescued. Someone who actually cares about it should get it and make it the way it should be. Show the guy a lesson by restoring it to the way it should be and then doing a burnout in his driveway .
