Ok, so it's definitely NOT a Stratos, but I have exhausted all my resources so I have to turn to experts.

It is someplace between Beta Coupe, Maserati Mexico, and Fiat Dino Coupe. I just can't nail it down. Any help would be hugely appreciated. If you have a clue, feel free to shoot me an email at matt@elementalmag.com or post it up, I will be checking this board like mad.

I think it's a Monterverdi? (Swiss)

It IS. I've checked.

I've got the spelling right now.

Monteverdi High Speed 375L with 7206cc Chrysler V8 engine.

Very very rare, and nice looking, but BIG.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I knew somebody would come through for me. Pimms, I think you have it backwards -- the S has no vents (and a different rear quarter window/ C-pillar arrangement). The L has the vents.

Does anybody have ANY idea what I would pay for the car? The other side is not as tidy as the one in the pic.

Regardless, thanks for the positive ID!
