Intermeccanica Centaur - a 1970 one-off built by Carrozzeria Intermeccanica for some american doctor.

Hello everyone, my first post and my first puzzle solved :)
BTW, some of you probably know me from the ucp forum under the name go.pawel
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Barrett's #314

A two-point puzzle. One point for identifying this car - who built it, what powers it, for whom was it built and when. A second point if you can provide a photo of it after completion!

I'm not the only one who sees an old Granada in it, then?

Then the next guess would be, of course, New Zealand.

Not from NZ, and this car pre-dates the Delorean

Is it built on a GM base, any of the European satelite companies?

There is a GM car under there somewhere, though not a European one

Well, despite Brussels' best efforts, Britain isn't yet quite European, so maybe Vauxhall Ventora?

I'm pretty certain Britain is part of Europe!! Anyway, no Vauxhall bits here. The engine & drivetrain are sourced from the most famous GM brand.

Since the wheels are Corvette Vortex-style, is the car built on a Corvette platform?

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything and I'm in the last-minute (whole week) thrash to get ready for the salt flats.  So go ahead and open it up and if I run across something and no one else has found it, I'll chime in.
