What did I see?

I don't know what you saw for sure, but from the front nose you're describing it may have been one of the old Fiberfab mustang body kits that used to be available.

 

since it was uncovered I would guess it was not too valuable or rare.

 

I would have ran the truck off the road, called a tow truck and told the cops the guy stole my Shelby and figure out what it was later.

 

So thats how you have been getting your cars!!!!!

I wonder if that was Lee Mathias' old fiberfab car? I think I remember him saying he sold it. It was yellow. I will email him and ask...

They are actually fairly rare and the noses have become somewhat collectable. Lee's was in pretty nice shape with some oher custom features to the car.

 

Believe Lee took the front end off and sold it separately. That front end originally came off of a 65-66 K code fastback in the GA area.

Paul did the cars front end look something like these? If so its one of the FiberFab front ends. ABout 50 were made, think we're up to 20 or so know ones (plus some reproductions) today

 

Would the new Ford GT nose fit the new Mustang?

Just when those who hate the Fiberfab GT40 nose on a Mustang thought the idea was dead and buried, I'd like to know if the new nose of the '05-'06 Ford GT is a close fit width wise for the new Mustang? Or is one a lot wider than the other?
I will have to price out the new nose at a Ford dealer. I know it was one piece because I saw the rare book that Engineering did , sort of an employee yearbook, where they devoted two pages to the company making the nose piece. Of course casting a fiberglass copy of the nose would only be the second big expense after buying the nose piece but then you'd have to source the stock headlamps and turn signals and the no doubt hugely expensive front spoiler. Still it ought to penetrate the air better--after all it was made for a car that went over 200 mph.

Where is Fiberfab when we need them now?
