It can’t decide whether to create corners or crowds.
This one is for the Mazda Miata owner who woke up one day and thought Boy, I like my car but I wish it was a classic Ford Mustang owner. We don’t believe they will be fooled.
is not a Mustang, but a M1stang. Yes, it was a real thing back then. We’d estimate that it was around the late 1990s. There is a website to convert the data, but there is also a tripod.com domain and Netscape contact information. You thought that the vintage Mustang replica was the highlight of this story.
Although we don’t know how many were made, they are occasionally seen. The builders created a custom-made steel body to replace the Miata’s curvy bits. According to the original website, the conversion included wiring, lights and all the chrome bits that make the Miata look like it was a Mustang. It is a two-seat Mustang, but it has slightly awkward proportions. Although the interior and mechanical parts were all Miata, the conversion cost of $12,999 (PS9.100) didn’t include a painting.
The car was offered for sale by a dealer in Salem Ohio. It doesn’t look bad. It’s listed at $9,800 (PS7,000), and it has done nearly 100,000 miles so it isn’t just sitting there collecting dust. The bodywork is a little worse than it used to be, and there are some large cracks around the driver’s side mirror. This car looks suspiciously unsteel-like. However, who knows what kind of life it has lived since its Mustang rebirth?
It’s actually not a terrible conversion, to be honest. It actually looks very similar to a vintage Mustang from the front and rear, with the only difference being the shorter wheelbase and awkward interior. We are still baffled by the idea of converting an Miata into an older Mustang, when there are many old Mustangs for sale at the same price today.
