Default Poncho "Corvette?"

Hi all,

Since this prototype clearly has C3 "bones," I thought it might be appropriate to post this here:

1964 Pontiac Banshee XP-833 coupe concept heads to auction
http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2...on/?refer=news

I like it, because I like the obvious C3 architecture, Pontiacs in general, straight sixes in general (e.g., Ford's legendary [truck-only] 300c.i./4.9 liter and Pontiac's OHC straight, to name just two) and Opel GT's--and this drivable prototype seems like a melange of all of the above cars. (One commenter at Hemming's even sees the back of the Olds Tornodo in the rear, three-quarter view...but I've got to study that some more, myself...).

I hope you all can read this article, without being paid Hemming's members...then again, most of you probably are paid Hemming's Motor News members, anyway.

Hope some folks enjoy this.
