It wa one of mine, I took that pic from a magazine clipping I found on the web and later someone (Otto or Ray?) added a better pic of it. I can't remember the name I have for it and it will take some time to find out now. If you want you can PM your name and I'll start from that.

Someone's idea of what a Thunderbird should have looked like if it was a 'proper' sports car?

Ford-based one-off from the USA?

Although it does look like a Thunderbird grille has been used I don't believe this car has anything else to do with Thunderbirds at all.

It is a one-off from the USA but I don't know exactly what it was based on..

It seems to be attached to the chassis; lifting/towing perhaps?
