This 1969 Aston Martin DBS is a RHD, automatic transmission-equipped car sold without an engine. Though a bit scruffy and in need of some rust repair, the car doesn’t look too bad in photos and we think it’d be fun to swap in a Ford Coyote 5.0 liter–it already looks a bit like a Mustang anyway. Find it here on eBay in Los Angeles, California with a $54,500 BIN.

The listing features almost 70 photos depicting the car inside, out and underneath. Though exterior body panels including lower quarters and rockers look pretty good, the trunk pan is crusty and lift shots show that moderate rust repair will be needed. Still, we’ve seen far worse corrosion on this model, and its relative completeness is a plus.

Any Detroit V8 swap would work well here, including the ubiquitous LS-series. We like the idea of the Ford V8 as its quad cam architecture is similar to later Tadek Marek-engined V8 cars, but it’d probably be best to sort structural, interior and any other potential issues before getting ahead of oneself in the drivetrain department.
