looks to me like it used to be a Mustang II.

Squirrel is correct. No doubt about it - Mustang II.

Bodywork is not always a respectable skill perhaps.

It is iirc, a old Toyota or, Nissan/datson.
Saw them when My classic car was doing a show on car culture in south America.

Only the second MII I've ever seen with a t-roof. How that worked with basically Pinto architecture would be a question but Ford was under some pressure in those days to give their dealers a Pontiac Trans-Am alternative, and that was all they had to work with. I wonder if the other bizarreness was some-type early body kit.

I see the corner of a '70 Barracuda poking out, behind the That-There-Clark-Is-A-RRR/VVV. Looks like he's keeping the good stuff to himself.

Mustang 2 with a body kit that was sold to people that bought the 4 cylinder model but wanted to look like they bought the King Cobra .

Ever see a t top 2nd /3rd/4th/gen t/a or the t-top g bodies a pillars after 10 years. they are cracked.
I don't think any of the oems did much to the bodies when they added t tops. if they did it wasn't enough.
they almost all leaked. and had a crease at the back of the t center strip. in the roof.
The t top full framed cars should've had extra body mounts added. there was no hope for the unitbody ones.

In the beginning aftermarket/sorta-OEM-supplier ASC cut the t-tops into all those cars as far as I know, after their normal trip down the assembly line and no I don't think there was much additional bracing from the factory, if any. Sketchy. The third, fourth gen F's seem to have been factory-designed for it, I've had a T/A of each, purchased at the end of their lives for purposes of parting-out and both with t-roofs, and I didn't notice any signs of problems. Yes this is the Southwest. A buddy's '85 Mustang GT purchased new during Ford's
"Quality is Job 1" days with a t-roof leaked water horribly from day one, repeated trips to the dealer notwithstanding, so I don't think Fox''s were designed for them either.

Either they were wrong, or you are.... 'Cause that poor thing is a Mustang, or I'm the Queen of England.

Pleased to meet you, your Majesty! But I agree - Mustang II.

I've seen that front end before, only in red...

Link at Daily Turismo.

Nose looks almost the same...



But it's a targa top...



Hey, wait, did you see something blue parked behind it?



Sure enough, same color, same stripes, same license plate... it's the same dude!

[squirrel]

same hideous nose, fits either a Mustang II or a Volvo. Neat stuff!
