Did it start life as a late-model Ford Thunderbird?

No - it didn't start life as anything.
It's completely scratch-built from the ground up!

FWIW, I'm pretty sure those headlights are 2002 Mitsubishi units. Not that that gets me any closer to a solution...

No - it didn't start life as anything.
It's completely scratch-built from the ground up!

But it does have a proprietary chassis and engine, of course.
Sorry if I misled anyone!

Could be, but it doesn't say on the website I sourced this puzzle from.

It uses the chassis of a production car and of course a proprietary engine, but the body itself is completely hand-built; of course the builder will have used lights, glass etc from production cars so you could say it's a Bitsa.

It's an American company, yes, but a multinational brand and not sure if the base was made in America or elsewhere.
