Anyone know who the manufacturer is?

Hey Gang,
She is not a Cobray-C3. Over the years I can think of 5 car styles built on a Corvette chassis but none seem right. The engine bay photo stumps me but it does look like Vette side pipes. The trunk hinges look similar to a Factory Five but that is not right either. Not sure of anything except she is not a Cobray. Jeff C

Thank you Jeff!

Aedds, you are welcome!
Have you verified the length yet? Do you know if the frame and suspension is 1968 through 1981 Corvette for sure? Send me a few photos of the front and rear suspension and the firewall from the engine side so I can help you nail down a few things. Throw in a inside trunk photo for $hits n grins to my email address of jeffc@cobrasnvettes.com
if you want. Jeff C

Aside from the obvious detail deviations - high side vent, 'vette-style pipes, interior, badge placement and rounded leading edge of rear fender flare, that's actually not a bad looking car. For a Corvette-based replica, the proportions are fairly well done, the stance is Cobra-like and the windshield is appropriately raked. With a bit of TLC and attention to detail - depending on mechanical condition, of course - this could become a pretty good looking ride.
