I'd like to have a short way to write 'I'm sure I saw it before' because that's how I feel very often.
I think I saw it before (ITISIB)... american?

ITISIB is a great abbreviation! It's not American.

8 - El Tiburon by Henry Covington
Correct!

That's what I thought it was and kept comparing it but just couldn't reconcile it.
This is a picture of the Covington Tiburon that's in the Petersen Museum, which is markedly different.
Do you have any more details of the puzzle Tiburon then?  Is it an early prototype?

Strangely the silver coupé is often erroneously tagged as El Tiburon "roadster", but that is a different car:

(below are more pictures of the car in its current state, obviousely waiting for restoration)
