Rob,
Knowing the wheelbase measurement helps to narrow down the manufacturers as many were 90", while others offered the stretched layout in 95/96". A buddy of mine had on old King Cobra stretched version with all Corvette running gear and parts as an example. You look for unique signature items about the design to help narrow it down.

Another thing I noticed about your chassis is how WIDE the side rocker tubes are pushed out towards the tires. On some cars you can see these tubes hanging underneath with the body mounted which is another clue. Not only does your car look longer than 90", it makes me wonder if the body is wider than a normal Cobra too. It's hard to tell with photos until you park it next to another 90" wheelbase Cobra to see the proportions. You could measure the wheelbase length and how wide the track is from center-to-center on the front wheels too. Its hard to see from the photos if they are normal aspect ratio or wider than normal.

Can you post a picture of the seats and bits that came with the car too?
