It's not a Camaro, notice it has 4-lug wheels. My guess is some kind of import with a kit car body, maybe an Austin Healy?

Re: What the hell is this????? (81' Corvette Guy)
I think it's an old kitcar called Fiberfab Jamaican. Could be powered by anything from a vw to v8... It would be interesting to see one finished and in good condition, I have only seen pics like this...

Re: What the hell is this????? (Fasteighty)
I think it looks like a kit car from the early to mid-sixties called a Kellison. From the side it looked a lot like a C-3. I can't remember what was used for a donor car, but it was a full frame with front engine and rear drive.

Yes, it looks like a Kellison. A friend had one of those bodies on top of a competition Corvette frame. This was during the '60s and I remember it had huge finned brake drums. PA passed some kind of law concerning either bumper heights or body heights (not sure - it's that age thing again) so he sold the setup to a drag racer as it could not be titled.

GM will be in a "twist" over your pictures of the "Z06" version C6. This is not the production C6 as it doesn't have Body Side Moldings (BSM). Paint needs a little work, but spray that baby MY and stand back! :eek:
I can see the advertisement now: "Words can't describe this car!!"
