It looks familiar, but I can't put a name on it.

Are we sure that's the same car? Looks like the front end is longer on the nice version. Also, I can't make out the rear faux air scoops on the c pillar.

It looks like an early 70's Camaro with greatly enlarged rear wheel cut out and rear wheel like drag racers do. Couldn't find a pic of one jacked up in the rear like that one though.

Not positive, but fairly sure. Jamaicans did vary a fair bit, though.

I too thought the rear window and decklid looked Camaro-ish, including the stripes.
The shape of the driver's window looks to be a closer match to the Jamaican than a Camaro though.

I was thinking Kellison at first:

but now I'm pretty sure it's a Fiberfab Jamaican as noted above.

A litte off here and there detail wise, but I think that is what it is.

Yeah, you're right. You changed my mind. Jamaican it is.

Ahh the '80s when Pro Trac N50-15s would fit on anything!

We used to sell Pro Trac tires when my dad owned the speed shop chain, I flipped open the last JEGS catalog and lo and behold Coker Tire is making Pro Trac tires again. Ah, nostalgia.
