They both recently passed, so now it is time to get rid of the house and the taxi. It is too bulky to ship to Colorado, and the Homeowners Association will bust my chops if I put it on my lawn. So I have no choice but to sell it.  I am a car guy, and want it to go to someone that will treat it right.<br /><br />As you can see it was abused, I laid fiberglass on it to get it back together. Kids also sprayed red graffiti on it. We painted it in about 2000, but it looks like that wore off.   I don’t know what I want for it. It could be worth pennies, or real money. I don’t want it to be scrapped. that’s my main concern.<br /><br /> The shell is in the driveway or garage of my parents house in Atlantic Beach NY, and is too big to fit in a van, it will fit in a small U Haul, or on a trailer. The golf cart that powered it is long gone. We painted it a dozen years ago and it looked good up until we moved in 2007.<br /><br />The purchaser will have to haul it away. I don’t know if it is worth $3, $300, $3,000 or $30,000. Hopefully someone interested will have an idea of a fair price, not rip me off, and make a fair offer. <a href="mailto:Tomsebay@comcast.net">Tomsebay@comcast.net</a><br /><br />I guess Tom got ahold of me because I posted about the Wiz Taxis years ago <a href="http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/10/taxis-from-wiz.html">http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/10/taxis-from-wiz.html</a></div>

They toyed with everything from long, futuristic grand-tourers to sporty, two-seat race cars, and everything in between. Created in 1964, the “Shorty” Ford Mustang was designed by Vince Gardner and built by Ford supplier Dearborn Steel Tubing for a travelling car show. <br /><br />Only one running prototype of the “Shorty” was ever built, and largely resembled the Mustang that would find its way to production less than a year later, minus a few inches of wheelbase and two rear seats.<br /><br /></div>While most pre-production prototypes are sent to the crusher when their usefulness has dried up, Gardner decided that his “Shorty” was too special to deserve such a fate. So, he stashed it away in a nearby warehouse and convinced Ford that it had been stolen. Ford claimed an insurance payment on the missing ‘Stang, and the case was seemingly settled.<br /><br />However, Gardner failed to pay rent on the warehouse space, and upon investigation the warehouse owner discovered the car and took possession of it as payment. “Shorty” was eventually sold to one of the warehouse company’s executives. <br /><br />Having seen the pint-sized prototype at an auto show four years earlier and fallen in love at first sight, Snyder discovered the car up for sale in Hemming’s Motor News in 1968, and had to have it. “I contacted the seller and immediately sent a driver from my printing business to Connecticut to pick up the car,” said Snyder. “I’ve owned this one-of-a-kind Mustang for the last 46 years.” <br /><br />Photos and story from <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/autos/thief-enthusiast-one-of-a-kind-shorty-mustang-article-1.1885980">http://www.nydailynews.com/autos/thief-enthusiast-one-of-a-kind-shorty-mustang-article-1.1885980</a> but the story was published in the Feb 2014 Auto Enthusiast magazine</div>
