The Ford Mustang has always been a popular platform for customization ever since it first debuted, and over the intervening decades people have figured out how to customize the Mustang every which way. But how about using the Mustang as the underpinning of a kit car? We’re sure its been done before, and usually the resulting vehicle bears some semblance to the donor…but in this case, all vestiges of the original Mustang are gone.
And that may be a good thing. Autoblog stumbled across this eBay listing for a Euro-inspired body kit for SN95 Mustangs, called the SixTen Sabre. Yes, this really used to be a Mustang.
Available for SN95 Mustangs, which means those built from the 1994 model year to 2004, this kit draws its inspiration from a number vehicles, most of them European. For example, the front end was inspired by a Morgan Aero Supersport, and the fenders drew their design from a 1950 MG Y. And that bodacious back end? Inspired by the Chrysler Atlantic concept. So what we end up with a veritable hodgepodge of automotive design influences on top of a Mustang body.
We suppose it isn’t all bad. The $10,900 kit replaces all the Mustang body bits, so nobody will be any the wiser that you have a 2003-2004 Cobra Terminator V8 engine under the hood. Talk about an (ugly) sleeper. Plus, it will be the most unique-looking Mustang at the show. There’s not cutting or welding with this kit either, so even entry-level DIYer’s can give it a shot. If they want to. We don’t expect to see too many of these Sabres on the road any time soon, but to each their own, right?
