The front of the Mustang seemed to be higher than normal. I walked up to the front of the car and raised its hood, only to find an engine bay minus the power plant. Even though the Mustang was void of an engine, I could tell this engine compartment was unlike any other I’d ever seen on a Mustang. The car had an unusually thin radiator with heavy-duty steel brackets that were unlike those on a factory Mustang. The compartment also had a large metal container resembling an oil or water cooler mounted in front of the shock tower on the driver’s side, and like the front and rear bumpers, the passenger side shock tower had a Curtiss-Wright decal. This decal read, “Rotating Combustion Engine — A New Shape in Power.”

RC2-60 = Rotary Combustion, 2 Rotor, 60cid per rotor.

Serious question: could this car be saved, and made into something else (like an SS racer tribute, or Gran Sport clone)?

Asking for a friend.

Sadly, this appears to be a ZO6 judging by the master cylinder

One Dodge dealership in Darien New York kept a 1969 Charger 500 with a hemi until 1989, and then finally sold it (with 1270 miles on it from parades and events) It's just been sold at BJ for 341K

I believe this car was at MCACN ‘22 for Vintage Certification? Hell, I believe that pic was taken at MCACN.

Really old photo; looks to be a ‘90’s Lumina Eurosport in the background, still has window sticker.

----If this 63 is a tanker and the owner left modern fuel in it long enough the tank could have leaked and hit the exhaust. A friend with a well known Corvette resto shop was just talking about this a couple of days ago. He was up my way finalizing a stainless tank for a tanker. They found the tank unfixable and the owner said he didn't care about 36 gallons so they are building a slightly smaller tank with all the appropriate fittings and neck. Looking at the pic, it appears that the engine compartment is relatively untouched, which would make my thoughts possibly correct.
----I've heard of many boats with older fiberglass tanks around here that have had to do basicly the same thing!....Bill S
