One point! One more and it's pppprrrrroooo time !

NB the name of the guy who conceived this automotive cacophony is in doubt - it could be Stuardi or Stuarti (both are mentioned here:)

As far as I know his name is Enzo Stuarti. He was a flourish, rather second row singer, but obviousely made a lot of money...

Lamborghini related?

edit:

"Enzo Stuarti's Sonata, based on a Lamborghini Miura..."

"During the Sixties, the US based Enzo Stuarti managed to completely destroy the fabulous Miura lines, he created a supercar based on the Lamborghini Miura drivetrain and engine.
It was presented on a US Auto Show by Enzo himself, he didn't have a car built yet but he made a nice folder for it, apparently somebody liked the idea and payed him to construct a car. Luckily this was the only car ever built, as you can see in the image, the Sonata must be the most ugly car ever made, the proportions were all wrong and the would-be pop-up headlights were completely out of place on it.

The current whereabouts of this unique vehicle are unknown to me, but I hope it has dissappeared completely."

Yes - it does even make the Argyll GT look good (relatively speaking, that is...!)

The auction listing eventually showed this car as selling for $20,200.

In 2015, just the body was offered on Craigslist.  Apparently, the engine and chassis were more valuable than the body.  (Assumed to be from a Jarama.)
