Someone at Ford must have thought rust was a good thing, I had a 67 Mustang, kissed it good bye in 76, no trunk, no floors, and lots of weight reduction taking place on the fenders, doors and trunk!

The awards committee has reviewed your request, and, despite being down on cashflow, have decided that you, indeed, are to receive a prize. I have been informed that 3 Great Nothings have been mailed to you as we speak!

It appears that the engine has been tethered to a hitching post and tied on to a hand rail? Would this be required to prevent a runaway train?
