I'm with Tim on this one. There is no reason you can't drive an immaculate and perfect car. When we did the first NE. regional SAAC convention in Hershey Pennsylvania, we had a nearly 100 mile rally and there were several concourse cars participating including a 65-350 that had taken either silver or gold at SAAC 33.
..........
And Tim would be a good guy to restore your car if you ever went that route.

Cool photo...hanging it out.   

Funny how that low angle makes the car look kind of like a UFO.  Or, like the suspension is jacked up to Baja 500 level.

Indeed!

Good looking rig

To continue on the theme presented here by many,  particularly what Tim is saying above on page 3 here, and what I read on page 1 about Daniel Boone's axe.
As an example, for any vintage car, if all that was left was the front clip, or if all that was left was the rear clip, and then a car was built from that, would that really be the car??
Some vintage cars, like Mopars, have a derivative of the vin  in the rear, by the way.

Maybe more relevant here, if a car is constructed from very very little original metal without anything definitive to tie it to any, any particular vehicle, then how could it possibly be any particular vehicle with a period born-with vehicle identification number going forward?

Sequel

I am not buying any cars that don't have a VIN. Most folks are like me. If you want to own that one good luck to you.

I am with Royce!

Best I can tell heres what was left of the car:

Quarter panels
Transition panel over rear axle
Rear wheelhouses
Rear frame rails
Trunk floor
Rockers
Roof
A pillars
Taillight harness
Tail light panel (modified)
Roll bar (modified)

Bolt on parts

I guess the question is

Is this enough to make a positive ID and should this be rebuilt?

Not enough

^^^^^

That's a good idea Brant.
I like to go staggered, and I think I've got 235s in the back, but I'm not even sure we can buy that size anymore.

O brother.

I'm putting a bookmark on this, in case I have a slow winter.

What is wrong with green?

Finally one without stripes

I know that you already discovered that you don't have a problem with your starter, but were you to, ever have to replace that, most small, independent auto parts places can order you a rebuilt one which uses the original core from the prior customers.
At that point, it's just a question of ,it probably won't be dated correctly.
I've been down that road with a different big block Ford and I just asked my guy to order two or three of them, and he knows I'm just doing that to pick the best date and then he gives back the other two.

What color?

All 69 Trans Am's are White with Blue Dual Over The Top Stripes, Blue Tail Light Panel and Blue Interior.  I think the Convertibles all had Blue Tops.

Ur Shelby.
