Hey, I think this is the one I saw being built. I visited a science-fiction author in the South Hills of Eugene, where he was building a car using fiberglass over cardboard for the interior bulkheads. I never saw it finished (or again)

powered by a Corvair 2.4L flat-six paired with a four-speed manual, with Porsche- and Volkswagen-based brakes and suspension, front-hinged clamshell bodywork, gullwing doors, a double-bubble roofline, 15″ wide-five aluminum wheels, and latch-and-link lap belts.

Featured in the May 1968 issue of Road & Track magazine.
Just A Car Guy: Dean Ing, NYT bestselling author, and Hugo award nominee, made an interesting gullwing in his spare time Thanks Doug M!

It's on eBay. The current bid is $16.1K. More pics there.
