These finds always amaze me. At one time someone put a lot of work into this car. It has probably been in more than a few car shows. How on earth does it end up wasting away in a field?
I would like to see more pictures of it once you get it washed up. What does that front end look like straight on? You said you inherited this car, do you know any of its history?

I'm pretty sure I've seem the nose before too. It might have been an aftermarket piece offered by one of the now defunct fiberglass companies like Vanacor, American Sportscar or someone else 30-40 years ago.

Be great to get pictures from a lower angle especially of the front, looks cool.
Because the taillights are from a 1970-71 Ford Torino GT I'm guessing it's all custom

Definitely post more pictures once you get it cleaned up. the chain is to limit engine movement upon acceleration. with the chain, headers, intake , carb maybe it used to be raced and maybe the engine has been "hopped up" beyond stock. definitely hope you get it running and find out it's got a strong engine under the hood.

i was thinking the same thing, it has a edelbrock intake and holley carb on it, i looked for engine stamps on the heads but couldn’t find any, it also has a chain bolted to the left side of the motor down to the frame, my grandpa said it’s an old school hot rod thing
