Just three of these cars were built before the project was cancelled by GM. Full information is available from this link:

But,I like the #3 better

Agreed - Number three is a better looking car, but number one was the first and featured a Corvette grille which was part of the original design brief.

You have a point there, but still. haha

The blue one reminds me of this 1961 Ferrari - Scaglietti was a coachbuilder for Ferrari at the time - remarkable similarities I think!

I found a couple more shots of this great car.

Only 2 units of this car were made. I hear the guy made this because he kept getting pissed off that his Ferrari Monza kept braking. I wish that was my every day problem.
