Check this weeks (Oct 7) Buy & Sell in the "Import Car Parts..." section there is someone selling a 1960 rolling pan with registration. I believe they were asking $500.

I know of a REALLY REALLY nice restored and custom IRS pan but unsure on the price. I'll have to get the guy to call you.

It's been buffed and painted inside and out with 4 or 5 coats of Tremclad semi-gloss black. All new bushings,mounts,brake lines(solid and rubber), shifter bushing,CV's, trans strap,clutch cable,pan head,powder-coated dog-legs. the original jack mounts have been removed. has custom welded-in seat brackets for custom seats. IRS trans from a '68 that's been painted and detailed as well with brand new urethane mounts and a steel/rubber strap kit.
Narrowed German 3" beam with Bug-pack adjusters and all tie-rods narrowed as well.

It's on 4-wheel drums right now with black 8-spoke Empi's with good tread.
Slap on a dropped disc-brake kit and you've got a show-ready pan.

Also comes with dash numbers if you need them.
I can guarantee it's not a $500 pan though.
It'll cost you but it's WELL worth it in my opinion.
I'l let you know.
