Unfortunately, I don't recognize it.. Was it made in North America?

Is this a private build or made by some company?

Made by a company listed in allcarindex.   :)

Not based on a Countach, not based on a Fiero.

Not a Bradley.  I get the impression from my sources, that only one was built.  But the company was willing to make more.

This one-off was built by Staten Medsker's SCM Motors.
I'll look for the donor car...Corvette perhaps?

LOCKED for Paul Jaray.  This car was built by SCM Motors.  Prior to acquiring the puzzle images (and the description of the base car), I had only seen one dark image of the car, with no mention of the base model.

Not based on a Corvette.

PJ, the base car is from GM.  (The hood started on a Ford, the front fenders on a Plymouth).  And the headlights are from a Mercedes-Benz.

One more guess from Paul Jaray, then the puzzle will be unlocked.
