I'm not so sure it was totaled. There was a car that looks exactly the same... Down to the wheels, stripe down the side and purple pipes and all that rolled around Tucson, AZ. Just no Perfected Images banner on the window. Can't just be coincidence.
Well, its really easy to do that front end swap since that is the chassis the Evo IV V and VI are based on. If you have enough money, you could completely convert a Mirage to an Evo.
