So was browsing around for a clean 2010+ mustang shell to use as a foundation for a road course car and stumbled upon this......

After investigating further, looking at the seamless welds on the entire chassis, the cage, the banner on the windshield, slot in the rear for the fuel cell, and seeing what was left of the fire supression system i have concluded that it is indeed an original boss 302R chassis sitting in a yard in miami.

cleaned it up and loading it onto the flatbed:

when i asked the owner of the lot how much he wanted for the shell and he gave me the price, i couldnt take the money out of my wallet fast enough. I'll be doing a full restoration and returning this car to its former glory to have fun in both SCCA and local events here in miami. will post an official build thread when i start putting it together most likely next week and will try to keep it as original as possible, excluding a few minor upgrades here and there.

Isn't this the second find like this that has been posted on SVTP? There was another member on here who also found a 2011+ body in white car in a junkyard, can't remember if it was Boss 302 S or R.

I thought it was a repost. Great find!

If you don't mind PM me what you gave for it. I'm really just curious.

Wow another one! I wish I had more disposable income. If I did i would have 10 unfinished projects and would be scouring the junkyards for the next one.

This one's even better bc it has glass and it hasn't been wrecked. A coat of wax and she'll be as good as new!
