From the shape of the door, I'd guess there is a Corvette in there somewhere.

Yes, there's a Corvette lurking underneath - well spotted. But the question remains: what's this?

Experts, do you know who built this Corvette-based "beauty" and when?

No word from our experts. Professionals, don't let me down!

Post by: pnegyesi on February 24, 2010, 06:12:13 AM
Neither American or kitcar

First clue: European
Title: Re: PN #47
Post by: Arunas on March 03, 2010, 03:17:42 AM
Self-built?
Title: Re: PN #47
Post by: pnegyesi on March 03, 2010, 03:21:27 AM
No, it was built by a company
Title: Re: PN #47
Post by: Arunas on March 03, 2010, 04:48:08 AM
as a production car?

By the look of the Wolfrace rims I suppose it could be British..
Title: Re: PN #47
Post by: Allemano on March 03, 2010, 04:53:14 AM
..or from northern Europe.
Title: Re: PN #47
Post by: pnegyesi on March 03, 2010, 05:23:06 AM
It was meant to be a low-volume production - I don't know whether it happened or not.

And it is neither British or from the Northern part of Europe

This company is still active and still specializes on Corvettes.

If it was indeed made in 1988, then this Russian prototype is much younger than my puzzle

Yes

Post by: ImpishGrin on March 14, 2010, 01:48:13 PM
Is the company currently tuning Corvettes or involved with them in some other way?
Title: Re: PN #47
Post by: pnegyesi on March 14, 2010, 01:53:20 PM
If I answer that you'll find the answer in nanoseconds. I don't think you can find too many companies dealing with old Corvettes in CH though

I'm afraid I don't know any :P

Deals with Corvette both old and new. Restoration, tuning etc. Family-owned

Pisteur brothers, perhaps ?
Title: Re: PN #47
Post by: franck.kegelart on April 04, 2010, 05:37:17 AM
if not Pisteur, Haussermann ?
Title: Re: PN #47
Post by: pnegyesi on April 04, 2010, 05:50:46 AM
Neither of those

Carrosserie Nyffenegger?
Title: Re: PN #47
Post by: pnegyesi on May 09, 2010, 02:40:45 AM
Yes, it is by Nyffenegger. Congratulations. Now the 1st point is yours. To earn a 2nd point, maybe you can tell me its name and the year when it was built. If you can't reveal it in, say 36 hours, I'll identify the car as it took so long to get here :)

Post by: pnegyesi on May 14, 2010, 01:34:42 PM
This is the Nyffenegger Green Monster from 1976. A point has been awarded to 75america
