Never try to calculate the cost of ownership on a project car. Unless your @Rick W you probably will never like the answer.

But it's not supposed to -be- a project car!

That might just leave a mark...

What, the headlights? Bring ‘em on!!

hmmm, let me think a minute. They may be below the bumper by now. Bring ‘em on anyway....

I was wondering where this extra "e" and " ' " came from. I always end up with spare parts.

I have been messing around with mine for over 20 years, currently waiting on an email from james duff to see if they can hodge podge together a traction bar kit or if I will just order new front shocks next (and update to the ahead of axle front swaybar at the same time) as I install rocksliders.

According to this guy the Ranger will be for sale at Ford Nationals in Carlisle this coming weekend. I will try to get pictures of it. I remember someone last year or the year before had these same pictures on here.

I remember seeing that on here. I thought that maybe there was some issues of this guy even having that truck... like it was supposed to be scrapped maybe?

I think you're right, I doubt it has a vin plate. It probably has some internal Ford number on it though. A friend of mine is restoring a Pontiac GTO for a customer it looks like a 69-70 Judge but it's older. It has some of the features of the cars that followed the next 5 years, turns out its an experimental car that was show cased by GM and pushed around the shows in the late 65 on. It has a different kind of serialization to my understanding.

The purple flake didn't show up in the picture.....

I thought the "sea splash" truck was stolen from ford or something like that and they have been trying to get it back because it was never meant to be released.

Edit - just noticed @Uncle Gump beat me to it.

I still wonder if it has any kind of legitimate title or any way a buyer could make it legal to even register/drive considering it's ownership is questionable and it technically was never even produced.
