Not quite a Flying Miata but pretty sweet for the $
Add a Fusion grill and it would be the best deal on an Aston Martin going.
Wasn't there a build thread for that car on here?

It was built in Tampa, never saw it in person but there was a build thread on miata.net I think. Was probably 2005 not 1995
So we take the time and effort to engine swap a V12 and that was the best we could come up with for the hood? Bleh.

QFT. Someone needs to buy that and make it look less horrible.
It's not the first time it's traded hands. It sold in 2009 and looked a lot nicer then, although the hood was simply cut in half at the time. I think it popped up for sale again in 2010. That car's never really been finished. The $20k build tag doesn't sound legitimate to me, and it was built starting in 2007 or so. I think it's still got the original 1.6 rear, which should explode around the time that engine makes any power. IIRC, the first time it sold for $4160 and was drivable.
