It seems it only has corvette suspension. Probably just some small kit car company's odd creation.

Yeah, but Brendan, up in Canada, you wouldn't have to worry about the suggested modification of air conditioning.

Also, where would you park it??????? :D

They were made by a company called Fiberfab in the late 60's early 70's. http://www.priceofhistoys.com/showroom/jam/

It would look so much better with pop up headlights, and C3 tail lights...

Nobody's noticed the Ford Maverick taillights yet. It's an awwwwful long stretch to call this a Corvette...I've seen worse, though.

BTW: Why does the priceofhistoys website say this car is on a Karmann Ghia chassis . . .
