That car is really cool. Just the idea of a sub-2500 Lb car with a high-reving OHC 6 is cool enough, but that body is very clean. I've always been a fan of this concept.

But boy that's a lot of zeros... :(

Actually the C3 Vette and the firebird look like this :p
 
It's just too bad the I6 necessitates that ugly hood bulge.
 
I wonder if this concept not making it was the final straw that drove Delorean away from GM.

Does the roof come off this thing?  The interior shots make it look like it does.

It looks like they did build it. Just not as a Pontiac, and without Opel GT headlights or Firebird tailights.

1963-67

1964


1968


My Dad would love this car. It has the same Straight 6 his '68 Firebird had. He said it was one of the tallest engines he had ever seen, so I can understand the unfortunate zit up front.

Sweet car #1 reason i hate VETTs GM would not let anyone else do anything nice or nicer than the VETT. Gm could have all kinds of nice things but insted they fight to make everyone hail to the Vett.

No, they built one coupe and one convertible.  If I were to actually buy it (if money grew on trees), I'd be a bit curioius why they had interior pictures of the convertible if they are selling the coupe.
