jotage21 did it!

I found the text about Patriot,  and I share it, since it is not easy "to google" it  ;D

"Corbett Motor Cars started building kits in the late 1980s. They were initially located in Archbald, Pennsylvania and built a Lamborghini Countach replica based on VW running gear It was sold in kit and turnkey forms, and was designed by company owner Adrian Corbel!. This kit was not a big success and Corbel! moved his business to Santa Barbara, California . in 1992 where he came up with a ultra- modem sports car called the PatrioL It was a mid-engined design and had the looks of an expensive supercar. It was based on the Pontiac Fiero and was to be sold in kit or turnkey form At a reported price of $85,000, it is not likely many turnkey cars were sold and the Patriot disappeared by the mid-1990s."
