    Needs tons of work. If it indeed is rust-free, that is in its favor, otherwise it is a pretty big restoration project. Contrary to the verbiage, Pace Cars aren't particularly rare.

    Rough, incomplete, filthy, and in need of a complete restoration. I would be completely embarrassed to post pictures of the inside of that dumpster. No thanks.

    If they are not particularly rare then why would it go against the Foureyedpride's hopes of not to cut up cars, use unique items on other builds and save said cars ?

    Personally, I spent $35K redoing mine and I never see another '79 around at shows.

    I rebuilt salvage Mustangs back in the day when the '79 - early '80s were new from salvage auctions and yards, and saw a lot of them crushed when parted out, doubt a lot of them are still around.
