Probably a Valiant.



Apparently the Chev is a 4 door converted to 2 door.

Yeah, I saw it at GM day in 85
It had a pretty rough 2 door conversion, full of bog and rust and the blower was gone.
I think it's been restored since.

Very nice!

Unusual that there's no information, or front end shots, does it have a motor, etc.

There's no gearstick, may be just a rolling shell?
