I initially thought that and the hood ornament looks like an Olds emblem, but i looked for it on the net and nothing came close. Also, on the rear deck at the back glass, It looks like a hump for an air breather and vents for cooling like it's a mid -engine car. I'm still stumped...

I think it's too big to be a Fiero. I'm leaning towards a very custom Toronado. The tires and wheels are huge. The sidewall size looks like something from the 70's. The fronts are beefy enough to handle front wheel drive on a big car with 200 lbs of bumpers.

mytmouz and larphead are basically correct!
I finally found some info on this car...

It's called a "Zimmer Quicksilver" built by Zimmer Motorcars. Only 170 cars were produced back in 86-88. And it was built on the Fiero chassis. A very upscale, mid engine custom 2 seat coupe.

Now i can sleep tonight...

Pic is a pontiac fiero with lots of body mods if you would look at the parking space then size of car you can see the car is smaller than it looks. the front bumper is at the edge of the parking space and the rear bumper is only 3/4 from the end. looking at a parking space you can see that this is a small car.

The size of the tires and the big chrome bumpers led me to think it was a bigger car. It's hard to imagine that they added such weight to a V-6 powered car.

After reading about the company I see they are in S. Florida. After spending a ton of time there I understand how they sold the cars. The blue hairs in S Florida love goddy shit.
