There are a number of WC owners her who could help you with more detailed information - look at the forums list on this site and there may be an active owners discussion forum - I'm not sure. Failing that, do a search on "West Coast Cobra" and that may net you some results.
EDIT - On second look the rear flares don't look wide enough and West Coast Cobras exclusively featured solid 9" Ford rear ends, so unless it's a one off custom 'Vette IRS installation based on a Stallion or a West Coast car, It may be a Hunter or one of the Corvette based Cobra replicas although it has a far more Cobra-like basic shape than any of those that I have seen.

Nope not a WCC, I have a Kellison/WCC and the engine bay is the tell tale, this is not a WCC. Also the 9" Ford Rear end is not present, WCC used them.
