This is a nice looking set-up. Can you identify the car make and model?

That picture is hopelessly small, but it looks like it has an aluminum "batwing" differential support as used on the 80-82 C3s and (I think) C4s.

Were there any bigger pics? Looks like a pretty sweet setup. Very clean.

Looks like a C4 to me. The rear bat wing is different than that of a C3.

It's a C4 dana 36 (automatics) differential.

Rear body looks like something like a 90s firebird with the big rear lights and the huge bump around the license plate
