This car was put together by my uncle in the early 2000's and pretty
much never driven around. He truly loved this car and wanted it to be
perfect before he took it out, but a few years ago he was diagnosed with
cancer and passed away leaving me his car.
I absolutely hate to even make this listing, but my family isn't rich;
we live in a condo and we do not have a garage to store it in, or
otherwise I would keep it and work on it every now and then. It us
currently being stored at a family friend's house out in Alpine and I
feel like I have over staid my welcome there. I looked into storing the
car at a storage location down the street from my house, but they want
around $150 per month and there is no way I can afford that.
This car does need a lot of work to make it look nice and I simply
cannot afford to do it myself, so I am left to watch it collect dust.
This car IS indeed drivable, I had it registered at one point and I
would take it out to Coronado every now and then with no problems at
all. It gets a lot of attention, especially from the other Miata
drivers.
I assure you, this car will pass smog, I have documentation of it
passing back in 2011 and no modifications have been added since then. I
will personally smog it for the next owner.
This car was put together using 2 Miatas. One had damage in the front
and the other was damage in the back, so he cut them up and put them
together to make 1 really long Mazda that will carry 4 people!
Originally the car had a single drive shaft, but due to its length, it
would cause massive vibrations, so I had a custom 2 peace drive shaft
made for it wish instantly solved the problem. I have not gone over
80MPH, but I know that up to that point, it works just fine.
Here are two videos of the car:
I don't have a listed price because I honestly don't know what it is
worth. I have a sentimental value for it, but that does not mean it is
realistic. What I am looking for are offers. Remember... this is a
drivable car... please have some respect and don't send me something
unreasonable.
Disclaimer: I have 0 interest in buyign this car, but it was linked to me and I thought it was too interesting not to share.

99 times out of 100, Miata is the answer. But there's always that one time.
This is that one time.

I want this so badly but it is very likely over my project budget.

It looks like a nice start for something unusual, if someone with the right skill can finish this, they have an awesome car!
BTW, person that buys this car, bring back the pop up headlights.

It'd definitely be unique! I'd think constructing the convertible top would prove challenging though.

Not too bad if they went for a removable hardtop. Biggest challenge would be the side windows, but I'm sure someone could do it justice.

Hmm, fair enough.
