Hi Chris,
I'm assuming you're asking about the "real" car? I don't know where it was taken. I was just Googling "Ford Mirage M1" and found the picture with an added aluminum spoiler. Thought it might go with the spoiler I added to my car.

Great looking car! I really like where you masked off the headlights leaving them clear.

Thanks Larry. My Xacto knife was as shaky as my detail paint brushes this time. 
Cutting the window and headlight masking was a chore. I hope my next project body is a roadster with headlight covers.

I have a suspicion that pictures don't do this build justice. Incredible work, just incredible.
