Solved - NEH 1836: Chinese Home-built "Saleen-Mustang GT500"

What's this supposed to be, according to its owner - who lives where?!:

Google Search by Image continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Search by Image as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I think I spotted its US analog in a Wal-Mart parking lot:  :o

Please forgive my warped sense of humor and fatigue.

This was one of the pictures on a "There, I fixed it" round-robin e-mail recently.
It's amazing what they get away with in eastern countries..

The doorhandles do look like they come from a Lancia, which they may well do, but AFAIK that's not the base car (nor anything else Italian).

Impressive spotting!
Unfortunately identifying the base is not part of the puzzle so null points (said with a French accent!) for that!

Yes, I realise that, but assume the car is French (as the trees and the Clio parked next to it look French!).

My word!  A good cocktail of PSA parts, with clever use of Citroen rear side window :D   I wonder what it is though!

I'm sorry to say though that your assumption is incorrect!  It's not French...
