It's highly likely, but not known for certain!
Professionals?
Body made of fiberglass?
It has the body-stretched-over-the-chassis look of a Porsche 356, maybe a Speedster. Was that the inspiration for the builder?

Built in the USA?
Is it Jim Webb's "Scarlet Chariot"?
SinisterCustoms...friends dad...built back in the late 50's early 60's. Drove back & forth to work at Boeing for many years. Sold in 1965. The car was never finished& has not been seen..since sold.

He wanted a Corvette, but could not afford a Corvette..so he built his own car.
That's it!
