Reminds me of a '62 Dodge grille.

Oh no, the grille shape, especially the lower lip, screams Mustang to me ('69 Boss?)

I meant overall it gives me El Tiburon vibes.

The way he is doling out pictures one at a time, it better be in his garage by now.

The wheels are four lug, so that makes it mid 60s to mid 70s Beetle underpinnings?

Seeing the GM styling exercise photos I was hoping it was Corvair based but they used five lug wheels.

There were Corvair 4 hole rims, they had the same bolt pattern as Datsun 510s so they were a cheap source for 5 1/2 inch wide rims.

Okay, I'm no expert - I was thinking of second generation Corvairs, I know they have five lug wheels.  The long rear end of the car looks to me like it would house a flat engine, but then again I don't see any cooling vents back there.

Have you got any interior shots? That might indicate front or rear engine if a tunnel and shifter are visible.

No interior shots, but I believe it has a trans tunnel.

It's certainly a potential challenge.

The rear fender opening has me thinking MG Midget.

I may be WAY off on this one, but I can't shake this feeling that I ran across something that looks like this back when Patrick got his Devin Panhard. 

 

Is it possible this is a variation on a  Devin or other fiberglass kit car/ specialty manufacturer?

My first reaction was "Devin" too, probably based on dim memories of B&W ads in 60s car magazines.

There's no top... how could a tall guy not fit?

Put knee notches in the dash. No one said comfortably fit laugh

Know clue what it is, but I know I would love to rock that!

I can probably put you in touch with the gentleman who currently owns Devin, if anybody wants to follow up.

I'd bet that there's some Crosley under that fiberglass.

No price, location or contact info. crying

Other than mentioning I'd love to have it, I'm sure even the shell is beyond my budget, so I haven really asked. 
Wish I could... it's way cool.

The wheels sure look like Crosley to me bolt pattern 4X4" wheel 3.5? X 12". Probably a whole Crosley chassis and drive train.
