The grill looks like Dodge. Hood looks like Pontiac. A Podge? Or a Dodgiac.

All of the above (particularly the Porsche rear quarter) -- with the help of some P-Chop, methinks. The light on the door and the front quarter-panel doesn't look quite natural. HPH

Here's a butt shot... I see vette tail lights. I don't think this is a photoshop...maybe one of our puter talents can tell.

OK, this way it looks somewhat less P-Chopped (the flare of the front fender wasn't so obvious in the other shot). The roof line and rear clip look Corvette-like, but there's still some Porsche there -- one of the older Turbos or RSRs. HPH

To me it looks like they started with a Vette, added after-market extended fenders, reworked the front end using a Viper grill/clip and tossed in Miata headlights. I don't recoqnize the hood. Quite a mess if you ask me.

The Vintage stylists are harsh. I think it is a pretty good job...Whatever it is.
