I'm not sure what it is. It has the 78 design dash in it and the power windows, rear defrost and the newer style folding seats like the pace car had, but the door panel shots don't show any power lock switches, which came on all pace cars. Looks like it was definitely a project car.
As if we didn't have enough trouble keeping our engines cool, I wonder how much air the engine actually sees under that fake turbine nose?
