That looks a bit like C4 suspension and a frame built around a mid engined set using a normal longitudinal style trans. Wheelbase is probably comparable to a crew cab long bed truck.

Reminds me of the Ugly Truckling that Roadkill built.

And because it’s just too weird not to share.

A back seat? 150-gallon fuel tank? JATO?

I think it's long enough to get the proportions right for a scaled down Wienermobile body. Somebody that's not me should do that.

Perhaps it is an attempt to homebrew a replica of a supercar....maybe use C4 bits to make a C8 clone

Its that long to run a standard engine/trans/rear rather than a transaxle. Bet you 10-1 odds.

It's a deathtrap you build to your own specifications. If done properly, your swan song is straight piped, push-rod  American V8

The seller replied & says it has rotors & calipers on the front, but they aren’t plumbed, and that the rear suspension is Corvette - though no mention of the generation - but he doesn’t know what the front is. So apparently he didn’t build it. 

He’s supposed to take more pics tomorrow & send them to me.

I'm almost certain this thing has popped up here before a couple years ago, also for sale.
