Im not sure what more do you want but I have found a site where this car is referred as CORVINENTAL.

More info i have found:
The car was built from a fully equipped Corvette coupe, it included a four-barrel 350-cu.in. V-8 engine, tilt-telescopic leather-wrapped sport steering wheel, Gymkhana suspension, automatic transmission, air conditioning, leather interior, wire wheels, vinyl top and the all-important stereo tape system with AM/FM radio.It is fitted with outrageous fender blades and full Lincoln regalia including a waterfall grille, stand-up hood ornament and Continental-style spare tire hump on the rear deck. Interesting items also include headlights mounted under the bumper line, which actually probably goes against regulations and roadability, a vinyl Landau top with split rear-window and coach lamps as well as rear lights and rear bumper arrangement that harken back to the 1976 Mark IV.
