What the heck is this thing? That is definitely a Miata windshield and there is no back seat.

Hello. The term ' hacked up POS ' comes to mind, although, someone has obviously spent a great deal of money to accomplish this, and is probably quite proud of it. Different people have different tastes, I suppose.

It's either been cut up or Photo Shopped. I'm leaning more towards Photo Shop.

That car was featured I believe in a Mustangs & Fords artical. A beautiful job but who cares. It's still a Miata.

There was a company called m1stang that offered conversion body kits (they or others still might) that would allow you to convert your Miata in appearance (sheetmetal) to look like a 65 mustang vert.

M1STANG and The M1Stang Kitcar Website its a real car its a body you put on a miata the funny think a real convertible mustang is the price of the kit to do this.And your stuck with a miata with a different body on it.There is a couple different bodies you can put on a miata some look nice the mustang one looks goofy.

Hey, if they get rid of the little wanker err.. wankel rotary for a nice big V8, I would drive it. There is also a company that makes a body kit so that you can make your Miata attempt to look like an Aston Martin Vanquish.

simpsondesign.net has some nice body kit for the miata.I just can't see spending that much for a body to put on a miata you can get a real mustang for that much.

They used repro body panels, so no original cars were sacrificed.

Here's a few more recent photos of completed cars.

You gotta admit it looks better than a regular Miata Rice Burner.
