Toyota MR-2 Mustake


Usually when you’re provided a cheap mid-engine car and you have delusions of grandeur, you turn it into same slightly odd-looking Ferrari or Lamborghini. So I’m sure what to call the disorder that would cause you to turn your Toyota MR-2 into an imitation Mustang – a car that isn’t exactly the hardest to come by. Reverse Redneckism?

OK – these are trying to look like Shelby Mustangs, which are rarer and more expensive that your run-of-the-mill Mustang. But wouldn’t it be easier to by an ACTUAL Mustang and make it look like a Shelby? You can probably buy one for the same price as an MR2, and it wouldn’t look like an abomination.

Shelby Garder Snake?



In the 80's Carroll Shelby helped Dodge turns some humdrum products into something not quite so humdrum. Now it appears he's working in the Eastern Bloc as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is a Lada. Although I have to say, the front end is quite an impressive conversion, given the working material. Still not exactly a looker though. Also - how would this fool anyone if they look further than a straight on front end view?

Mustupra



This horrifying creation is the result of the movies “Fast and the Furious” and "Gone in 60 Seconds" being transported simultaneously in the Telepods from "The Fly". Holy movie references, Batman!

PS: I think the description might be to vague - it's a Toyota Supra dressed up like the Eleanor GT500.
