To answer your question, it looks like its based on the Greenwood "Daytona" bodykits

I like this one better. Solar panels and stacks bolted to the hood. Bet it throws flames. Looks like it took lots of effort and talent to make. I hope the owner liked it at least.

If anyone wants to take a break from puking, they can read up on the car here:
Daytona Corvette

Many of today's C-3 owners are too young to remember the Greenwood cars, and therefore understand that there actually WAS a reason behind all those added body panels. What makes them look weird, IMHO, is when somebody added all the panels, then didn't spring for the massive wheels and tires that completed the look. Nothing looks worse than a car with all sorts of tricked out body panels and puny wheels and tires.
And NO CORVETTE looks worse that the "Corvette Summer" movie car, as posted by "Tom Sarno", above...

I was actually at the Eckler's Corvette Reunion in '81 when the street version of the Daytona was unveiled along side the real deal. IMHO, it was the $**# then, and still is. So, if that's a genuine Greenwood body kit and it hasn't been screwed up, yes, for the right price I'd consider buying it. ...if I had the funds to spare.

I have to agree with "leadfoot4" and "TheSkunkWorks". That body kit in it's day was "cutting edge". It does need some massive rubber to fill those wheel wells. At least this body kit was purpose built while the Corvette Summer car is just way over the top.
