I guess this is not too hard. Anyway a certain name and some addtional infos are required to get a point.

mymokke · February 04, 2010, 09:02:43 PM

This is a concept Corvair called the "Z"

Allemano · February 05, 2010, 04:33:59 AM

I have different infos about that car..

mymokke · February 05, 2010, 11:12:06 PM

Here is the site I received my info from......http://www.linkdeleted.html.
They show this car as a Corvair "Z".

@ mymokke: PM the link you've got and I will tell you if your source is more reliable than mine.

mymokke · February 06, 2010, 09:12:28 PM

Sorry for breaching the policy .... won't happen again.

I PM the site to you.

Allemano · February 07, 2010, 07:43:24 AM

Sorry, but I believe my source is more reliable.. I have it as a proposal for a different car model..

mymokke · February 08, 2010, 07:52:18 AM

I'll keep looking, thought "Motortrend" was a reliable source.

Allemano · February 09, 2010, 08:53:57 AM

Let's do it that way: if you prove my source wrong after the puzzle is finished I'll give you two points compensation..
My source is owned by a person who was closely related to the design team which developed this car.

Exactly. More infos when I'm home again.

This is what was indicated online about the car shown.
Designer Larry Shinoda usually got the look right, but nothing could keep this idea from being more wrong. The notion was to build a "junior" Corvette on the rear-engine Corvair chassis, in the hopes that some of the Vette's good mojo would rub off on a less-expensive car. Considering the Corvair's ultimate fate, it's best that this plan never went beyond the clay-model stage.

Is the picture posted the clay mockup?
