Just wondering if someone could check if there were any options 3:55 gears ect, and if there is any early owner history. The car is rough but the original front clip was included

Looks like it’s been sitting awhile from the witness marks on the tires.

There was a black car bought out of LA a few years back with similar damage. Someone will remember what car it was. I ‘feel’ this is a different car though. Seems like your car was probably a decent machine before whatever happened.

I’m currently looking for a rolling chassis if you don’t end up building it.

Just the fact there is an interior in that car puts you way ahead. Good luck

Hello and this looks like a great purchase for a project vehicle.

89-0038 was an original 3.55:1 rear gear car.

I bought that car new in 1989 from Don Kott Ford, owned it until 1998 where I traded it in to Galpin Ford in Van Nuys. Last known history was that it went to auction and was bought by a small corner style dealer in Downey. I reached out in 2014 searching for it as I was hoping it was still alive and perhaps if the owner was looking to sell I could buy it. I found out through this site https://saleenforums.soec.org/showthread.php?t=17890 that someone in San Diego had possession of it and it was painted blue....obviously not. I lost track @ that point. I had to signup again today with an alternate account since my old one must have been disabled as I had no permission to the pages. I should be able to answer most of the questions you have, just PM me or reply back on the board. Congrats
