Exhibit "A" is a Ford 6 cylinder with at least 2 LS Chevy heads spliced together and installed on it..

Exhibit "B" is a 2.3 Ford with a twin cam volvo head attached (the 2.3 Ford bottom ends are legendary for their strength, the heads..not so much)

I really need to get back out with you guys..

You at least need to show up at an event and pick up the 10th Anniversary shirt that you ordered!

Hey, you're the creative fabricator sort. Want our Festiva parts car shell? We've pulled the engine and trans out. It's ripe for a crazy project, and you're just the guy to do it. We'll let it go cheap!

It's in my garage. I'm usually available in the mornings, and I'm off Fridays. Just let me know what works for you.

Yeah, it's a roller. all we did was yank the engine and trans out. You'd have to pull the outer axles to be able to flat-tow it, but it can be pushed around.

FYI, I have the title, but I can't do anything with it. The guy I bought it from never transferred the title. So, it's in the PO's name with another Buyer's name already on the title. The PO is in Sarasota, so it shouldn't be impossible to get with them and get the title transferred if you wanted to. But, as it stands, it's not got an "easily attainable" title. If you're building a track beast, of course, none of that matters.

The car itself is a good straight shell. Florida car, no rust. I drove it home from Sarasota. Shocks are Baaaaaaad. Scary bad. Brakes were fine, everything else seemed in order. It's got the usual assortment of broken plastic bits and such, but it's a good starting point for a Festiva project.
