That’d be the Piper Enforcer:
The Piper Enforcer had a Lycoming T55 turbine engine and started as a Cavalier aircraft project, several Enforcers were built and trialed by the US military.
Cavalier had earlier converted a P51 to Dart power as the Turbo Mustang 3 with a ex Viscount Dart RDa.6 registered as N6167U and that was flying in the late 60’s before the project was sold to Piper.

…a little delving in the archive and here is shot taken by Peter Sledge in the 1970’s.
On the back of the print is says thought to be A68-187.
No argument over the ID as far as I’m aware, and worth noting it never flew in that configuration. In fact I suspect there weren’t even engine runs, but that’s just supposition.

Mustang, not a Spitfire (although I did see an excellent model done in Boscombe Down colours of a Turbo Spitfire, many years ago.)

Dart Mustang.
…or more probably the Australian conversion for Hockey Treloar, who also owned a Spitfire.

No memory of a Spit with a Dart, and it almost certainly never happened.
However there was a Piper “Mustang” prototype (mostly Mustang exept for the engine) flown in a USAF fly-off for a COIN aircraft in the 60´s, early 70´s engined with a RR Dart engine. Could you be confusing the two?
