XP-898
It
looks a bit like post-1982 Corvettes, but the one-off XP-898 of 1973
was actually built on the chassis of Chevy’s small four-cylinder
Vega. It’s mission was to test feasibility of a new "sandwich"
fiberglass body construction using a foam filler that could be varied
in thickness to provide desired strength in specific areas. Though
it looks a bit dated now, XP-898 would have been a great replacement
for the ’68-vintage "Shark" Corvette in, say, 1975.
