I'm pretty sure we had this before, but we named it in a wrong way for sure.
This is a good canche to archive this under the right name...

I hope my info is correct then!
I sourced it from that well-known mine of misleading information, the World Wide Web...

National Showcars Morocco II?

When I asked for full details I hoped someone might know a bit more than I do!
It seems to be difficult to track anything other than its name down so I've awarded you the point as you obviously have the correct car. If anyone has any more details though I would be interested.  Apparently the car was sold on ebay recently, but even the vendor didn't seem to know everything about it!

Here's another pic for interest:

NATIONAL SHOWCARS

National Showcars in Montville, New Jersey, built the Morocco II, a styling and hop-up kit for the 1980s Corvette. A longer nose had exposed headlights and a retro hood scoop that looked like the 1965 Sting Ray 396 scoop. Superchargers and other performance parts were optional. The Morocco was built in the mid-1990s

So, it has to be "Morocco" instead of "Marocco"

Yep, and not an official concept car as I read somewhere.

I thought that but whilst Googling 'Morocco' got me nothing Googling 'Marocco' got me pictures of the car (it was apparently spelt like that in the ebay advert!).  I also tried Googling 'National Showcars' but got nothing!

Thanks for the info PJ!

That's strange if it's true what PJ says....

I got that pic too, and it is confusing.
I have it as 'Morocco' in Harold Pace's book and in the Beaulieu. I also have a copy of the description of the car for sale, where it was called 'Morocco' 4 times and 'Marocco' 3 times!
I think that it is more possible that someone wrote 'Morocco' instead of 'Marocco' in a couple of sources than someone had it printed on a car!
At this point I think it can be 'Marocco'  :-\
