This poor little guy appeared abandoned. No license plates on it. It didn’t deserve this. It’s abandoned in a strange place though, it’s in a very busy business parking lot. I was leaving and saw it and HAD to take a photo of it. When I glanced at the interior, the shifter is GONE! There is nothing where a shifter should be, just a hole.
UPDATE!
whilst scrolling through Facebook classifieds I found a week old listing for this exact car. I have messaged the seller seeing if he sold it or if it was stolen from him. The paint is faded the same on the front which is why I suspect it's his car.

I think the last time I saw one of those was in a junkyard, in 2012.

I dont understand it, but people steal shifters. I'll never ever understand it.

There’s a dead body in the back.

Someone will want it; these have a pretty big enthusiast following, and people swap the motors into other small Fords.

Sad to see it like this. My dad used to have 2 of these, they are good cars.

The broken/missing windows makes me think it was stolen.

Mostly people who’re looking to replace their old and tired knob but are too cheap to go buy another one.

That would smell very bad and eventually would get disgusting, inside and out.

You know what you must do. Or this music won’t stop.

They just have a 2.3 Pinto engine, right? I’ve seen lots of people who swapped a different one in because the stock motor isn’t intercooled and has a weird power band.

2.3 Pinto/Lima with a turbo. I know people put them in Pintos and Fox Bodies; my understanding is that they’re pretty polarizing, with some loving them and some hating them.

I know it’s a pretty common swap to grab parts from the Foxstang’s turbo pinto. And yeah, polarizing is the right word. I think of them as European Foxbodies. They get love and hate in equal measure.
