I know where it was designed, but not who designed it, but I do know that it wasn't Oliver Winterbottom.

Hmm, I thought the wheels look very De Tomaso too, but this is not a De Tomaso!  As mentioned earlier, I don't know for certain who the designer is, but I doubt it was Tjaarda.

Yes, I was just about to edit out that question when I remembered you'd said you didn't know the designer..

Pontiac?
Or something much more kitcar-ish?

Mid engine styling study by Chrysler's Pacifica design studio, 1985 circa.

Getting closer, although not from 1985, so now locked to you to tell me the designation reference of this project.

Maybe 1983 circa. The wheels are from a Pantera, so probably it's a new Chrysler-De Tomaso idea for a joint 'new Pantera' or new mid-ship Project. But I do not know of an exact designation, so please unlock it.

This Chrysler project is indeed from 1983 Warlord, and the De Tomaso connection you mention does make some sense, although it is not mentioned in my data source for this project.  I will move this up the Pros now to give me the project designation, so...

Pros, we now know that this is a 1983 Chrysler proposal, but do any Pros know what its designated codename was?
