A bare chassis has been discovered in Missouri. Can you help identify it?

Please see the pictures below.

Is it British? Was it once a sports car? What is it?

Five lug Rostyle wheels? (Or are they...)

Left hand drive... Ever seen a rack that looked like this?

Notice that it has these sporty and relatively modern features
1) four wheel disc brakes
2) three link rear suspension
3) a very lightweight steering rack
4) coil springs and telescoping shocks all around
5) five-lug wheels

On the other hand, it seems to have an uncommonly robust frame of box tubing, and the front suspension's telescoping shock absorbers are mounted uncommonly high for a sports car.

Nice long, level Panhard rod.

Pecular emergency brake lever (with a hole for the thumb button) was apparently mounted to the left of the driveshaft tunnel.

Well it has a ford 9-inch rear........looks like mustang front suspension and the rims are Magnum 500s from a Ford. They also fit Dodge too.
