The base is not a Cadillac...and the builder started to think at his custom when he was an high school boy, but it was not built by students as a project.

I know what you are thinking: 'Must be some custom made car he found in an old magazine...'
This car is not featured in my books but it's online.
I think I ear you saying: 'well, yeah, one of the obscure sites you know, very obscure source...'
This car is featured in at least 2 places: 1 is very known by 'almost' all of us, the other one is know by EVERY one, in and outside Autopuzzles.
If you don't get the clue...the car is currently for sale.

This car can be found on the net.
Is it no longer for sale on Ebay but there is a link to that car in a site about, guess what, fiberglass sports cars...
