The 'Stang is sitting. The car was fucking perfect. It only needed paint. I'm so bummed it got hit. It got T-boned on the driver's side A pillar. Took out the door, the fender, and the upper ball joint....so it doesn't roll. The smack was just hard enough topside to crack the windscreen, and the footwell is pushed in a bit.
Tell the truth, maybe a good pull on the bottom of the A-pillar on a frame table, a new fender, door, and ball joint, and that thing might actually be OK again. Unfortunately, I'm no frame expert, so I'm holding onto it for now. I know it's a real "girl's car" to many, but the MX-5 Miata can swallow the entire drivetrain of that 'Stang ( http://www.monstermiata.com ), and MX-5s in decent rebuildable shape are going for as little as $1500 around here...so I am eying that as an option (as well as a swap of all parts to another Fox body). If you see a nice 'Velle for cheap, lemme know...but I don't know how I'd get it back to Jersey. I've been considering getting a tow dolly, or trailer...
