It is the Corvette-based Condor of the last 70s, beginning of the 80s ; also known as the Allen Pursuit, some years later...

That is the car.
The board reports also the was made by Coolidge Bros in California, #7 of 7 built.
One point for you!

[GRANT ALLEN]

I just found this site and I have all the history behind the Custom built Allen Pursuit. My name is Grant Allen. I am the son of Mr. ALLEN PURSUIT, Jerry Allen.
My father designed and sold these cars exclusively from his Excalibur dealership in Ft Lauderdale Florida in 1978 thru 1980. He bought brand new Corvettes and had car builder Jack Coolidge and his 2 son's Mark and Jim convert them into Allen Pursuits. The Coolidge family built these cars in Ft. Lauderdale not California. I only remember 6 being built with one prototype. So I guess you could say seven in all where produced. The prototype was what Jack pulled the molds from.  It was hugely over normal Corvette weight, do to the layers of Bondo it took to shape the fender's. My father loved the look of an old French car called a Talbot Lago. This is where he conceived the look of the Pursuit.  The picture on your site  of the silver and blue car was taken at the Boca Raton airport and used in an ad. My father is standing next to the Red "Great Lakes" Bi-plane but has been cut out of your copy. My father was the first Excalibur Car and Boat dealer in the world from 1965 to 1986, and was a key person in the foundation of the Excalibur car and boat history. I welcome any questions or any knowledge of the whereabouts of the lost 7 Pursuits.....Thanks Grant Allen.  My email address is ggrantallen@yahoo.com

Wow.

Thank you for your time in responding, it's always an education here. 

When I was looking that these, they reminded me of today's XLR, a luxury interpretation of the Corvette.  Thanks for your post!
