Well it is a race car ish. Really just needs tail lights and headlights to make it a street car anyway lol. A bodys a body, I can make it a race car, or a straight up street car with a 2 barrel. Thats the beauty of whatever I want to do with it, I can

You know, i wanted to comment about that but I didn't want to start the debate. I think if the car can make it 50 miles without refueling it can be considered a street car. (Ideally, a car wouldn't be dangerous to drive on the street as well.) That car looks like it could have drag radials swapped on and be a 100% weekend street car with that little SBF.

It's got a 351c in it, built to hell. Ran high 10's on motor. The guys pulling the motor/trans. Cars solid except for a few tiny spots that really don't bother me. Otherwise nice paint and is pretty good body. I'm throwing in one of my 69 Windsors with the vic jr's, high compression. Cars all manual, no vacuum assist anything so really not worrying about camshafts making any vacuum for me. I'm putting it to street trim, pulling the wheels off and throwing some street tires on the back. Swapping the gear out and putting in a locker (versus the 4.56 and spool in it now). The current hog head will be put under the bench until I need it to shut some noisy camaro owners up :). I'm looking from the stand point, it's what I want, it's a good solid body, has alot of mach 1 parts, when its not a mach 1, that I can sell. I'm just fine with it not being a true Mach, let alone having any decent badging. I have a built c6 that will go into it, and some other stuff. Already has disc brakes, and some pretty good drag suspension. Small cage, It's a muscle car, just what I've been trying to find. I've gone through 3 or 4 65-70 mustangs and all of them have been to far gone for me to restore, let alone afford to restore. I'm happy.
