    Sure, if you have another Town Car you need parts for.  Nothing for the early cars unless maybe the engine and trans and computer, but that would require shock tower removal in the early Mustang.  It has an 8.8 rear end that could probably be narrowed, but it probably has non-traction-lock crappy gear ratios and there are a lot easier ways to get one, like out of an Exploder..

    What about seat and shoulder belts?

    The gearbox internals, as a swap to give a wide ratio gearset in an AOD
    The radio
    Probably not a whole lot more.

    I think it would be cool to graft the Town Car grill onto the front of an early Mustang - to give it that class it so desperately needs.  And you could shorten those reflector strips on the back of the Town Car and put them on the Mustang rear tail panel between the tail lights and the fuel filler.  It would look a little like an Eleanor ...
