It was intended for production. It is really not treated as a "one-off custom car".

I might be completely wrong, but it reminds me of Howard Dutch Darrin's designs somehow

nicely reminds, yes, but this car is so much obscure that I have never seen it mentioned in any book....

Alright. Time for a HINT:

This car is named after mythological creature.

So, it really had a water-cooled V8? That must have been a rare engine. Developed by the builder himself?

Sorry for confusion. It had Corvette V8, as far as I remember.

Strangely, you can find some products for sale online with pictures of this car...

One important piece of information (which is not still not identified) will unlock the mystery. Just tried to google it and it worked! :)

It IS possible to find this car online...
