Default MCLAREN OR SOMETHING CUSTOM FROM THE 80'S HELP!!!!!!

A guy from work brought this pic in of a red capri or mustang with a tan convertible top that resembled a mclaren. It was definetly the early-mid 80's body style. There is a badge on the right rear fender that has a number and what might be a signiture. Anyone have a clue what this?????????

pic would help significantly. I remember the McLaren... the windshield was raked back a bit more than stock convertibles.

It might be a McLaren or it could be a Saleen. I know Saleen's came with #'s on the front bumpers.

If it helps, the McLarens usually had BBS_sytle "mesh" wheels. Sometimes they were color-keyed to an accent color on the body. They also had smoked headlight covers. Interiors had numbered plaques.

I'd love to get a 86 McLaren Capri in the dark Blue with orange. They're getting pretty rare now.

Here's a hardtop and a 'Vert.
