To earn your point, provide the name of the builder, and the car this sports coupe was based upon.

Arunas · December 17, 2014, 08:45:11 AM

You have my attention

sixtee5cuda · December 19, 2014, 05:27:50 PM

Ready, Arunas?

Up!

Unfortunately, I don't recognize it.. Was it made in North America?

sixtee5cuda · December 20, 2014, 09:32:34 AM

Yes, it was made in North America

In the USA?

sixtee5cuda · December 20, 2014, 03:37:32 PM

Yes, made in the USA

Arunas · December 20, 2014, 04:10:21 PM

Is this a private build or made by some company?

datsone · December 20, 2014, 05:03:12 PM

Based on a Countach? With apologies, perhaps . . .

Oguerrerob · December 20, 2014, 05:34:52 PM

Fiero based?

sixtee5cuda · December 20, 2014, 06:59:11 PM

Made by a company listed in allcarindex.

Not based on a Countach, not based on a Fiero.

datsone · December 20, 2014, 07:07:50 PM

Not a Bradley, is it?

sixtee5cuda · December 20, 2014, 07:09:26 PM

Not a Bradley. I get the impression from my sources, that only one was built. But the company was willing to make more.

Arunas · December 21, 2014, 02:17:59 AM

Made in the 80s?

Paul Jaray · December 21, 2014, 05:57:11 AM

This one-off was built by Staten Medsker's SCM Motors.
I'll look for the donor car...Corvette perhaps?

I'm sure you got it right!

LOCKED for Paul Jaray. This car was built by SCM Motors. Prior to acquiring the puzzle images (and the description of the base car), I had only seen one dark image of the car, with no mention of the base model.

Not based on a Corvette.

Paul Jaray · December 22, 2014, 04:25:54 AM

Based on an American chassis?

sixtee5cuda · December 22, 2014, 09:06:19 AM

Yes, on an American chassis.

Arunas · December 22, 2014, 09:08:28 AM

Open for guesses?

Paul Jaray · December 22, 2014, 11:27:18 AM

I assume it's a V8...GM?

sixtee5cuda · December 22, 2014, 06:09:50 PM

PJ, the base car is from GM. (The hood started on a Ford, the front fenders on a Plymouth). And the headlights are from a Mercedes-Benz.

One more guess from Paul Jaray, then the puzzle will be unlocked.

Paul Jaray · December 23, 2014, 03:36:02 AM

I'd say Cadillac, then.

Arunas · December 23, 2014, 04:10:01 AM

I'll go with Camaro.

oko94 · December 23, 2014, 04:49:44 AM

Firebird ?
