A design for a kit car (based on the Dodge Firearrow III concept car it appears)?

It is a sketch for a Dodge but you haven't really answered the questions yet!

It's not intended to be a kit car, no, but it's not a serious proposal for production either.

No there wasn't.  I said in my last post, it was not even meant to be a serious proposal for an actual car; it had a different purpose.

That's it, yes.
The Consumers Guide did a feature on what other makers' sports cars might have looked like if they'd made a competitor to the Corvette; as you say this was Frank Peiler's idea of what a Dodge might have looked like and been called.
Well done.
