Default Just bought a shell, what year is it?

Hello Everyone,
This is my first mustang. I bought it without a title, vin plate, interior, front clip & most importantly without rust. It has disc brakes with a disc brake pedal, looks like aftermarket A/C. I dont know waht year it is. Are there any identifying marks? Thanks

Thanks for the reply's! I'll get some pics up soon. The car doesn't have any fenders, hood, grill, bumpers or interior except dash & steering wheel. I bought from a body shop as a lein sale that a customer left two years ago. Are there any other areas to look for the VIN, like on the body shell or behind the dash? It has a 289 & C4.

must have been from there.
when I read the title I thought ... christ almighty and reading no VIN means it must have been that aauction ...


without pictures we won't be able to tell but I have my money on "1967 fastback that was once supposed to be an eleanor clone ..."

what do the side scoop things look like? If they have three chrome bars sticking out, its a 66. What about the tail panel? If it sticks out (as opposed to curved inwards) it is a 65 or a 66. pics will help the most.

Congrats! You just bought a "Kit" car! Without a title and VIN number you have 2 choices. Either buy a parts car that has a title and VIN and transfer them over (this way its not a kit car), or you'll have to go to your locak DMV and register it as a kit car and they provide you with a new VIN. I'd look around for a parts car.

Post a few pics and we'll be able to tell you the year.

I'm pretty sure it's a '66'. I'm taking it down to the metal & found the side molding scoop area holes have been filled. The gauge cluster looks like all the other 66's I've seen. So far no rust or large amounts of bondo. The floors are excellent also. It has a aftermarket disc brake set up with a dual resivoir & aftermarket Classic Air set up. Someone put some money in this car at some point. I've been on the hunt for a parts car with a title without much luck yet. This is going to be a long project, so I'm sure I'll come across something. I appreciate the input & I'll keep you all updated! Thanks.
