Build your own mid-engine Ford Mustang (donor Toyota MR2 not included)
Click above for a gallery of the Ride Cars GTR350
We've seen some crazy automotive rebody attempts in our time, but the GTR350 from Ride Cars in the UK has got to take the cake as the oddest. If you wanted a "Gone in 60 Seconds" Eleanor replica, why would you go to the trouble of (poorly) recreating the Mustang shape when there are literally thousands of the original pony cars still available and in good shape? It's true that the GTR features a mid-engine design, but it's based on a Toyota MR2, – a fine car in its own right, but hardly the pinnacle of supercar performance.
In any case, here we are with a kit that consists of a new front and rear body section, new door sills and skins, various lights and hinges, plus a supremely awesome set of rear window louvers. Get yours now in either a ready-to-assemble package for £3,995 (about $5,800) or partially assembled for £7,995 (nearly $12K).

@ Tourian
Keep going, you haven't even scratched the surface of how horrible that thing is. And we might need something a bit more destructive, fire just wont do.

I think it looks like one of those videogames whose are not licensed to show real cars, so they make cars that resemble real one, just more hideous. It woud be acceptable in a videogame, but in real world I wonder who would dare to drive it (sober).

Oh I get it, eating healthy grains builds muscle... haha good one.
That said, I hated Fiero rebodies, and I hate this too. I guess a decent set of rims and a nice paint job will never be enough for some fools.

I'd rather hit myself in the face with a hammer.

Somewhere the Fast and Furious 4 director is kicking himself for not seeing this sooner.
