I'm guessing it was made out of an eighties Thunderbird, similar to those kits with the '50 front and rear styling.

Okay, nineties, but it's got to be a Ford product.

1989-1997 Mercury Cougar, with extensively modified 1949 Ford body kit, such as produced by Haler Concepts.  Rear side window resembles those from a 1990 Ford Taurus wagon.

you´re in the right way, Mercury Cougar. Who made the conversion? Locked

Stumped, proceed.

I've seen it before in print, and I've probably seen photos of it during construction, but I can't narrow it down.

There is a Cobra emblem on the front fender, if that helps anyone.
