Sadly: 1) It is not the only ugly creation by this man and 2) I cannot remember his name or what the other car was.

But this car is based on either a Fox-body Mustang, or the equivalent Mercury Capri.

It is based on a Mercury Capri, yes, and he did make another car.
But it has a name, which I need (as well as the builder's!)

That's correct, yes.  He actually built the car in 1998 on the basis of a 1986 Mercury Capri 5.0 V8.
This car is also correctly called "GRX Interceptor", just like the other car he built which, as you say, has been puzzled here already.
