    Judging by the windscreen, it appears to be some kind of special/kit car based on a C2 Corvette cabriolet.

    My guess is a "customized" Jensen-Healey.

    Well mule is appropriate ... ;)

    Correct number of letters on the hood!

    Sounds like a winner.

    What's interesting is that there is no mention of this car anywhere even in the new Intermecchanica book.

    I see the Intermecchanica connection in the hood/headlight area. Looks 'italia' looking.

    Looks like a Fiberfab Jamaican in front, Bradley GT rear. Who knows in between?

    It's a targa top too, well I guess it's a sunroof and almost a targa ...

    But gawd it's ugly.

    Someones's home experiment?

    I miss the 'mule' days. Automakers used to go to such ridiculous lengths to disguise, and it worked. A novel idea for a car collection. Factory 'mules'.

    That would be interesting, I have a friend who owns a Porsche 901 mule only one left in the world, but it looks really nice.

    What "new Intermeccanica book"?

    I had 1967 Torino # 40057 for about 20 years and it was the most Hellacious car I ever drove.

    My first impression of the rear 3/4 view was a Porsche 914 lurking underneath.
    Looking at the Torque Thrust 'D' wheels/ BF Goodrich tires and what looks like 1968 Dodge Charger tail lights I am guessing this was assembled in the US somewhere.

    Intermeccanica Indra Mk 2. Notice the Rhode Island plates (registered in 1971), the in-dash 8-track player, "MPH" speedo, and the American change in the console.

    Somebody Photoshop the top off?
    It would look 10 times better.

    They could have bolted a small truck bed on top in the back and then at least it could carry something.
