This drove past me as I was getting into my car this morning, I managed to snap a couple shitty pictures. Looked like a cross between an early Fox body Mustang and a Triumph TR7. Body was almost cartoonishly long and low and flat. I have a feeling it might be some sort of kit car, but I dunno. Anyone recognize it?
EDIT: Wow, that was quick. Looks like it’s a Kelly Python. Neat.

It very well might be a TVR, but the rear overhang/deck lid is too long for a 280i.

My first thought was a ferrari datona, but the front marker light is way off.

Yeah I would 110% recognize a Daytona or any reasonable attempt to reproduce a Daytona.

There’s a Corvette based Daytona kit car that might be it

Just googled it, that’s almost certainly it.

Nope, longer and lower.

Based on the headrests and what appear to be 4-lug Borbet Type C wheels, it may be based on a Fox mustang.
Like a Kelly Python
The T-bird taillights and the LX 5.0 exhaust pipes give it away

Nope, I think we’ve found an ID for it.

There was a white one for sale on my local CL forever. I’m somewhat surprised it’s not still there!

That looks pretty interesting and challenging.
At first I thought that it was a convertible 1st gen RX-7. And yes, Mazda didn’t make these. But for example Pacific Avatar did.
But it has a center brake light and the nose is way too pointy. It looks like an RX-7 from the rear but a TVR from the front.

No argument from me.
