Ford Rolls Out a Reproduction Body Shell for the 1965 Mustang Convertible

Ford Mustang fans now have another option to preserve or create a first-generation car--a reproduction body shell of the 1965 Mustang convertible.
Ford has licensed Dynacorn Inc. of California to produce new body shells of the '65 Mustang. Depending on the choice of powertrain and trim, the body shell can be completed to specifications for a 1964 ½, '65 or '66 Mustang.<!--EndofExcerptMarker-->
“The 1964-66 Mustang is the most restored vintage vehicle,” said Dennis Mondrach, Ford Restoration Parts licensing manager. “But the number of original 1964-66 bodies is shrinking every year. Most of the original Mustangs left in scrap yards are rusted or wrecked beyond repair.”
The shell is built with modern welding techniques and comes rustproofed and ready for paint. Ford says suppliers of restoration parts must meet or exceed fit, finish and quality of original. That's why the Mustang body shell is constructed of higher-grade steel than the original, according to Ford. The company allows suppliers to work off old technical drawings, blueprints and specifications for parts.
Once the shell is bought, the powertrain, suspension and brakes, the electrical systems, the interior and the trim can be transferred from an existing car or bought new from the Ford-approved parts bin. Almost every piece needed to build a complete Mustang is now available from suppliers.
The '65 Mustang body shell is in production now and can be delivered by truck to any address, including to a home. It comes with the doors, trunk lid and all the sheetmetal from the radiator support to the taillight panel. The only pieces it doesn't include are the hood and front fenders, which are available separately. The Mustang body shell starts at $15,000.
Ford is displaying the 1965 body shell at SEMA next week in Las Vegas. The company also has licensed complete body shells for the 1967-68 and 1969-70 fastback models.

..WoW, thanks member's for your posts/comments...
Thanks Jerry for your post & infor, but geeeez is it expensive 4-Sure....
I also would like to see a 4th Gen Repo Body or have GM reproduce a new 4th Gen with ZL`1 powertrain
Maybe a 2014 Retro 4th Generation Chevy Monte Carlo
OK, I'll just keep dreaming of one & also winning the PowerBall Lotto (It's now over $200 Million)...+ my boss got me another ticket (That's my bonus 4 the week : )...
I will enjoy revisiting this thread to see what member's posts.
