definately not an f body !
there were 250 of these cars made from 1985 to 1987 ,they were built in Arkansas and the wheelbase is ..137 inches !.although it was not that long on the production car !
and there is no other angle of the car that would give the donor car away any better than the one shown !

where are all the experts ????

Looks like a Zimmer although the front guard and back is not quite right.  From memory a brand new Ford Mustang is the donner for the two door and a Lincoln Town Car for the 4 door version.


ORRRRR, actually it's more like a Phillips Berlina built on an 81 Corvette if memory serves
