    Default Anyone recognize this bodywork?

    I am trying to determine the make of car some bodywork came from. The parts are coming along with a car I’m purchasing, maybe someone can use it?

    it looks like the nose is a Crossle and the center may be a highly modified Crossle as well. There are some ‘panels’ as well, which I don’t recognize. Maybe the livery will spark someone’s memory? Coming from central California

    Center section could be a late 70's VanDieman, wide sportscar nose is definitely a Crossle 32/35.

    Default Try This

    LH Nose is close to Crossle 40/45. RH Nose looks like a home built using a "Take Off" of an Eagle and mated to the center bodywork. Side Pods were made to fit the Center Body. And Last the Tail Piece is a "Take Off" of a modified 32/35 Tail that was used in the late seventies to have a longer flat surface to hang an extension with a spoiler for rear down force. Also notice the noses have a splitter as well.
