Experts?

is this a Chevrolet corvair by any chance?

Yes, that's the basis...

[kwgibbs]

this was a stretched version of Louisville Kentucky. Charles farnsley set up the lost cause motors ,it had a price of &22300.00 and the project was left in the laps of the derham body co. of rosemount penn.,the year was 1963-64?

[Carnut]

That's about the long and the short of it!
Well done.

Just a minor correction to the "solved" title . . . . The correct name is as kwgibbs gave it - it was the "Lost Cause", not the "Last Chance".

[kwgibbs]

thank you!

Thanks.  I've no idea at all why I wrote that; I think my mind must have been elsewhere (I've just had my car stolen...)
I also had it as the Lost Cause Corvair...

Oh no!  Hope your car is safely recovered . . .

[Carnut]

Thanks; unlikely though.  The police give no more than a 30% chance of recovery and reckon it's in a container on its way to Singapore or Thailand already...

This is what I've lost:

Oh sh*t!! 
I feel for you man. How much will the insurance cover towards buying another one? And, would you buy another one knowing how keen thieves are on this model?

Not being an Audi fan (I have a friend that had her new RS6 stolen from her driveway recently too, without the key!), I've already suggest to Carnut that next time he buys a decent car, such as a new Alfa Romeo Giulia

Not enough...
I'm deciding whether to get something other than an Audi.  Maybe an Alfa as Djetset suggests - thieves don't want those!
