Possible? Yes. Don’t.

 

You need to see a priest and repent at your earliest convenience.

What makes you think you have the tool set or skill set to pull this off? If you don't have the room to fix your mustang, you damn sure don't have the room to body swap it.

 

I know I don’t but i just had a idea

 

Come on man, we were struggling with rust/metal replacement. Now you are talking about the wheelbase (that doesn't even align) of a FWD sedan?

 

I know its a horrible idea but it would be funny taking it to a car meet and opening the hood

 

I feel like putting the car back on the road this way is the olny way to get it back on the road when it really shouldn’t but insurance would be alot cheaper

 

Do what you want it's your car. If that is the only way, go for it and good luck!

 

There's a group on Facebook devoted to bodyswaps. The biggest issue is most modern cars are much wider

 

And you think these guys didn't like this?

That’s actually nice i just know that if I actually do body swap it and i open the hood and they see this someone might want to fight me

 

Man, I’m all about “when there’s a will there’s a way”. But the specifics here would even cause me some significant pause.. Even if wheel base, track width etc was perfect, you are still taking two unibody vehicles and attempting to mold them together hopefully resulting in something resembling a solid automobile…. Not only would this be challenging for a seasoned pro but a near miracle for John Doe back yard fabricator. Could it be done, sure. It’s whether or not it would be done remotely correct where it would be a safe and prudent form of transportation for any length of time. Obviously I, we, have zero knowledge of the Avengers specs and how the two would “swap”,, but just sitting here thinking about it my conclusion is you would likely end up with two piles of scrap metal prior to completing the build.. It would likely be overwhelming in regards to fabrication needs/$$$ as well as engineering issues at every turn..

 

100% this⬆. Your idea is NOT your easy or cheap way out. Done well, both cars would be worthless.

 

Tom's refurb on YouTube has a body swapped civic 65 mustang. Took it to Carlisle, he got a lot of "love" over it.
FYI he also has a 67 that's semi original.
Funny car stuff for sure.

That is exactly where i got the idea from and if i had the space and tools it might even be a little easier because I wouldn’t have to move the fender wheel well at all

 

I think you are looking for the Vintage Avenger Forum, but they might not like the idea either. Lol.

 

I could go post a question about it over there and see what they say but I think you are right

 

I don’t think there is anyway this will happen because the with on the pinch weld at the top of the rocker on the mustang is 5 inches smaller than the one on the avenger so there would be alot of cutting and alot of questionable structure that is left

 

Forget popcorn, I've moved to whiskey.

 

I just did more measuring and found out that the avenger on the inside of the rocker is less than 3 inches wider than the mustang so I would have to olny cut a inch and a haf so it might be possible for someone to do it if they had enough skill

 

There is somebody on youtube that stuffed a Honda Civic up under his 65 mustang. He is calling it the Masutangu, LOL. You can find videos of his craziness out there. If he can do a Civic I would think the Avenger could be done about the same but all you would have of the mustang is the body.

 

Yep I’ve already seen the series and I think i can do it to a avenger and mustang i just need to figure out the problem with how am I going to get the mustang on top of the avenger

 

Say three Hail Mustangs and your sins are forgiven my son...............

 

I am taking a few rips on the bong! Here we go.....

 

I'm not even joking when I say clearly, you aren't the only one.

This project needs to be started immediately... Tonight...

 

https://www.copart.com/lot/67603522/clean-title-2013-dodge-avenger-se-mi-flint I could actually use a few parts off this one and it might be a good option for a body swap

 

I just asked on the avenger forums so lets see what happens

 

One benefit of doing this is I could have a 1965 mustang with a auto dimming mirror and heated seats and potentially back seat leg room

 

Ok so you have this vision , but do you have the coin, skills, patience, tools and the place for all this to occur?

 

I have patience and some of the tools to do this

 

Theres another guy on the forum with a marginal toolkit and a brain about as smooth as yours (maybe smoother) and hes chopping up his Mustang so I say go for it. At very least there will be one less Avenger on the roadways..

 

If i do go through with this project and I would of course buy one that has already been wrecked so if i cant do all i did was take 2 different piles of junk and try to turn them into 1 pile of junk and if it doesn’t work out then all that is hurt is my wallet

 

So my 65 coupe is too far gone to save

None of these cars are “too far gone to be saved”. There are folks that have restored these cars with nothing more than a piece of wheel well. But if it’s resources you lack, then you’ll also lack the resources for a body swap.

That said, if you still want a project that you can drive, part out what you can (all the way down to the original sheet metal) and buy a cheap driver that needs some TLC.

Just my .02

 

How much for the Mustang?
I'm into rescues and I could do a mercy killing to save at least a parts car from being turned into an unrecognizable pile of scrap and a would-be front wheel drive econo-box at that.
Transfer the body to a car that has performance or collectible desirability to begin with that happens to have a poor body, and you might have something. I don't see Avengers, Camrys, Altimas and the like having a lot of collectibility or desirability in the future because they don't have any now. They are bland mass produced point A to point B transportation.

 

if i do

trust me this coupe isn’t worth saving its a 200 inline 6 with the 3 speed auto with so much rust that the rear driver’s side rocker moves independently of itself and both frame rails on the driver’s side are so far gone i can put my foot where the rails are supposed to be so I don’t think i can hurt this car anymore than the feild has already
