Yes, about the Mustang part. Not sure about the taillights, though - and then there's the matter of finding out who's the offender :)

Those taillights HAVE to be from a '92-97 Caddy Eldorado...

I'm not saying they aren't! But this car is offered under a name that has nothing to do with either of the two mentioned manufacturers, by a completely different company.

Just by looking at the strange combination I think of Felber.

As far as I know, Willi Felber stopped building cars in the mid-80s. This is not one of his creations, as it is from this millennium, and still being offered for sale by the company building it.

Technically, it's a Galue II, but yes!! I can't believe it had to come all the way up to the top level to be solved - even if it was a Rookie who did it :)

Congrats!

Let me dissect that sentence:

"a name that has nothing to do with either of the two mentioned manufacturers" - i.e. "Galue"

"by a completely different company" - i.e. "Mitsuoka".

I never said it wasn't a Mustang!
