In the hotel parking lot for the national convention we had for BeaverRun circa 2009 there was a Highland green KR convertible, un restored condition, parked next to my KR fastback.
That that photo should be "around," should be available

Up For Auction / Re: I have questions
Last post by Special Ed - March 01, 2026, 12:48:24 PMBack YEARS ago i got to go with a ford guy to the dearborn holding yard to pick up a mustang body to make a race car and they were bodys that had mistakes made when being assembled in various stages of being welded together like panels overlaping the wrong way etc. I found some old screw in washer bolts that went thru the frame rails that left the dolly circle marks and they had layers of different color paint build up on the washer head end laying on the ground thrashed away as after a while they get to much paint build up and got pitched .

Up For Auction / Re: I have questions
Last post by CSX4781 - March 01, 2026, 12:14:12 PMFord also provided information in the Off Highway Parts newsletters in 1972-73 on how to order a body in white to build a race car from. See below.
Also, where they state "no sheet metal forward of the firewall", they are just talking about exterior parts, such as hoods, fenders, valances, etc.

Last post by Road Reptile - March 01, 2026, 11:41:47 AMHey to Pete and all,
To answer your question simply YES you could buy a body from Ford and it would not be made as a car that you could register and title for the street. Most obvious things would be blank unstamped vin
And welded up or plugged and welded seat belt mounting holes. Just the basic needed to build a car for the track.(aka body in white.) This continues still, and you need to have a good Ford contact to make it happen.
You can also buy Truck cabs and frames seperate if needed. Hope this answers 1 question without
Creating more.

If you and/or the dealer had the right connection at FoMoCo, yes, a "body in white" could be procured. All that I have seen (drag and race related) did have a VIN associated with the unibody, but no title, just a bill of sale.
