I didn't have time to figure out what it was myself but I knew I had seen one before.

1975 Lincoln Daytona Coupe? I've heard a prototype or two existed and got out of the hands of the factory.

Is that the new display at the Simeone museum? Cool barn find aesthetic. And Jay Leno's reflection in the fender is a real Easter egg.

Awesome.

Not sure who took the picture, but it is a 1986 Zimmer Quicksilver, sleek side profile, but wait till you see the nose

Bill beat me by mere seconds! It's a Zimmer.

That explains the "Z" on it. I took the picture as I walked by and did a doubletake. Figured it would be a good quiz for the forum.

Is it really based on a Fiero??

That said....it was in a very eclectic setting....so wouldn't surprise me if it were Fiero based.

Next question is where it is on display?

Eikkk! Put it back in the barn!

I just read that it's an all fiberglass body mounted on a stretched Fiero chassis. 29" longer than a Fiero..

Classy!

You'll need an open shirt, gold chains and white shoes and belt to really fit the image if you're going to buy it.
