Look of the front reminds me Bizzarrini's cars... Is it something from Giotto Bizzarrini?
Well yes, do you know which one? I give you 24h to find the right model.
missed opportunity — open again!
To me it looks like a Bizzarini styled Maserati Ghibli or Indy...
But that's not what it is!
If it isn't a Bizzarrini could be an Iso Grifo?
It's a Bizzarrini.
Bizzarrini Lamborghini?
Could be a Vignale Bizzarrini 5300??
No.
Hmmmmm. Is it a variant of the Bizzarrini Europa 1900? The one that was based on the Opel chassis?

No, it's not that.
Some characteristics of this cars reveal a relationship with Bizzarini 5300.
I think it's a special 5300, but I really don't know who did this.

Yes, it has a relation to the 5300. Bizzarrini only built two different production cars, so, this connection was quite likely...
However it's indeed a special one. And it's the only ever built.
I think this car could be a prototipe for a new style of the 5300, which was never built.
Designer could be Giugiaro (Italdesign).
Yes and no.
There was Bizzarrini 5300 Stille Italia Spyder prototype with pop-up headlights, so maybe this is Bizzarrini 5300 Stille Italia Coupe?

As it is not a "Spyder" it can't be the one you've mentioned.

Bizzarini 5300 prototype by Franco Scaglione? (Bertone)
As far as I know Scaglione wasn't involved.

Bertone prototype?
My source reveals nothing about an external design studio, so I think it was an in-house design.
A crazy guess... one of the last unfinished Bizzarrini 5300 completed some years later with a 6-cylinder Fiat 2300 engine?
No, it's much less complicated than that...

It's the 1968, 1969 Bizzarrini Strada 2+2
Of course it is!
Hmmm... what made me think that you would be the one who solves this puzzle...? (http://www.mysmilie.de/midi-smileys/verwirrt/1/0002.gif) (http://www.mysmilie.de/)
I looked forever for that and could find nothing...Ugh! Those Bizzarrinis are beautiful!

... a common friend from NY, perhaps?;-)
That would be possible.. ;)
A side-view of this stylish car:
More pictures! :
Fantastic car!
Nice car though I never liked the shape of the pop-up lights... ;)
Dear Friends,
I am "a new kid on the block" so forgive me.
For me it still is a question mark who designed this BIzzarrini 2+2. Giotto Bizzarrini told me that he doesn't remember the name. Other people involved told me it was a young and unknown designer who never was payed for his job and immediately left the car industry to use his skills in other industrial design.
Can anybody give me more details?
Ciao,
Jack
I know from one member here who possibly knows the answer...
Not me, sadly.
All I know about Bizzas, I owe to Jack!

Pegaso?
AC 427 base?
Maserati, by Frua?

It's neither a Maserati nor is it by Frua!
Sod it;....I'm beginning to lose interest, after twelve mince pies within the last few hours, endless visits from loathed relatives with their wrong kind of wine for which I should be grateful. None of them are car people. I do, however, worship at Christmas;...I have a shrine dedicated to Victor Meldrew.
I'll get back to you with another guess soon!
Peace to everyone out there.
Bizzarrini

Yes, it's a Bizzarrini.
Anything else you know about it?

In the meantime it's locked for you.
Thanks
P.S. And welcome to AutoPuzzles WayneB!
Actually I find this is a re-post so I've merged it with the original.
Sorry, Wayne B.
