What's this car
Buddy of mine posted this on facebook and tagged me. I've seen it before, but can't recall what it's called.

Reminiscent of the Dodge Dart (concept) but the fender vents weren't there and no fins.
Those fender vents sure look American designed.
Not much help huh?

It's an old VW based kit car of some sort unknown to me at this time...

You best look at the pic again.
It is very much a VWish wheelbase and the bulge up front is one of two over the front wheels, not centered or on the hood part of the front. The hubcaps look like VW/Porsche "nipple" caps to me, there's a big air intake vent aft of the doors for something to the rear of it, the back is tall enough to house a VW fan shroud and it lacks side glass to see through, the windows in the doors look to be physically impossible to open/close which a production vehicle wouldn't tolerate...

Ah yes... the Shark! Looks like it influenced GM's Mako Shark too.
