I full-heartedly disagree, as I find Mazda’s small roadster one of the purest and most fun to drive sports cars around, but you know what they say about the Miata / MX-5. There’s also another racy saying about men with big cars, and well, you get the picture with this extended version of the MX-5.

Listed for sale on Craigslist, the 1993 model was placed on the Procrustean bed sometime in the early 2000s, gaining a few feet in length and two more seats in the process.

As you can see for yourself in the gallery and videos below, it’s an unfinished project, but the stretched two-door roadster is drivable.

We’re told that, the man who created it, unfortunately passed away and now his nephew wants to sell it because he does not have space to store it.

Do check out the listing in full below, and if you’re interested, you can communicate with the seller who is located in San Diego for more info.

Seller’s Description

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.

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.
