I have a theory that it could be the Ghia cobra roadser (dark blue, lift off hardtop, mag wheels, goosebak tan interior) rebodied since automakers frequently use the same chassis to try different bodies on and that car done by Ghia has never been seen since its initial showing.
That Ghia is not to be confused with the AC chassis
with the Ghia coupe body from an 8v Fiat, that car
still exists in England, done for Willment on a spare chassis back in the day.
Long since resolved. Look in the SAAC registry....oh, wait you DON'T have one, do you?

I have pictures of the "XD Cobra" (Bordinat Cobra) circa 1980 when it was being hidden after having been "liberated" from the Styling garage where it was slated for destruction. Jeff Burgy has copies of the pictures I provided him when he was restoring it for the SAAC display.
