I can't understand why I can't find this one on AP; surely it's been puzzled before?

A bit more:

The full name of this car is XP-785 Corvair Super Spyder. The XP-785 was based on a 1962 convertible body shell. Its overall length of 171 inches and its 93-inch wheelbase are both shorter than the stock 180 and 108-inch dimensions. The differences stem from increased front and rear body overhang and the removal of a 15-inch section of the body between the doors and rear wheel arches.
