Looks like a newer version of the Bertone designed Fiat 128 Shopping. But I couldn't find the exactly matching model...

Sorry it's a little bit harder. It's not the Bertone 128 Coupé from 1969.
At least it's based on a FIAT.  ;)

It's not a concept car and it's not based on a Fiat 131.
Pic shows an older version of this car:

I have a feeling that a clear-up of old Pro puzzles could be imminent ;)

This is without a doubt my favorite Coriasco creation.
Does anybody knows if these 2 versions are one and the same car that was modernized (and uglified) or was a small series of these cars made.
Is there still one around, or was nothing heard anymore of it after it was displayed on motorshows?

I'd also like to know that.

The car originally appeared at the Turin Show in November, 1971.  It was announced as a series production model, but Coriasco changed his mind and it remained just a one-off.

From Alessandro Sannia's excellent new book Carrozzeria Coriasco, just published:

"The following year, the Fiat 127 Coupé was unexpectedly displayed at the Turin Motor Show again, simply repainted in metallic grey and up-dated with black plastic bumpers.  This was its last official appearance before disappearing into oblivion forever."

I think this answers your questions!

Not sure how old these pics are, but the car did survive for many years.
