Certainly not the Corvette factory!. Guess all those aftermarket body parts were made in some factory somewhere, so I guess that makes it "factory" in some eyes. I'm suprised it has gotten bid as high as it has.

My vote is that it is a modified corvette with an aftermarket kit.
One of only 200 made. Extremely rare, but only $10,000?
And so rare that it has 98,000 miles? Seems like if it was a "prototype" it would not be a daily driver.
It looks like one of the Can Am kits that people used to get the wide body, and 6 taillight treatment. Didnt someone post one of these on a flat bed trailer about 1 month ago?

It is an Ecklers Can-Am Kit. One of the guys on the forum sent me the detail a while back.
From talking to those who did this sort of thing in the 70's the trick was to find a crashed vette cheap and put aftermarket body work on it.
My car was originally a blue drop top !!. 10K seems steep to me as I paid 4K for a running driving car with a good solid frame and bird cage. The brakes, tranny, and differential were in good condition and the body was good.
I knew I was gonna gut it and start over to build a hotrod. I would like to have had the greenwood/factory race body work but it is unlikely you can get that for 4K and have a running car. They show up as race cars from time to time but are more than 10K.
I have yet to see any two of these cars with the exact same body configuration.
