There was something similar to that in Street Strip magazine back in the 90's but it was a different colour.

Sony Scorcher with a roof chop. Looks good, but not really a fan of the front bar.

Yeah, it needs ED XR8 Sprint front bar, or perhaps even Fairlane/LTD front...

WHen I saw the thread title I was ready to let rip with the "kill it with fire" remark, but that actually looks pretty good!

Like others have said , i read the title and thought FRANKENCAR ,but it's a very neat machine and well done to whoever it was that built it.
It would be a fantastic cruiser .

 )

Kinda looks like an early 90s Mustang especially in photos 2 and 4.

It’s been resprayed, and I couldn’t see enough of the interior, but it looks similar to a car that was built and shown at the time (early 90’s.) At the time I read about it, it did not have a top. And I notice NO photos of a top here either. THAT is always the killer. It’s not hard to make a good looking topless, but making a top that actually works and doesn’t look completely hideous is difficult.

Yeah thats a very nice effort, agreed it looks tough towing that boat.
I think it would look even cleaner with the side door moulds back on (colour coded), also agreed the GT bar is maybe a bit much but an easy fix. Still, $30k for an EB, true its "rarer" than owning an EB GT but yoru just never going to see that cash again. But if your after a largish convertible then its pretty neat.
