Actually pretty interesting looking.

It would have had a choked out 185hp motor but a pretty neat body. Thanks for the pic

Hmmmm, Not sure I really care for either, but nice to see what they came up with as far as concepts back then.

in the picture you posted, the front driver side looks like it would be more for a challenger.

Very cool, I had read an article a ways back that had some of the prototypes for earlier E-body cars and it's cool to see protos of cars that were made and how refinements to those designs make the cars look a little more like what we are used to seeing.

It's kind of a Cuda, Challenger, 3rd generation Charger configuration.

usually prototypes are over exaggerated compared to the actual model that gets put into production.

i think it looks kind of AMC-ish

and that first passenger side pic, the back of the car almost looks like a C4 Vette.

Too bad it didn't fly, would have been interesting and more competition for Ford and GM ( Mustang and Camaro/Firebird/Trans Am).

Cool for sure , not really a fan of the tunnel rear window or the flush 72 chall grille though
it does look a lot like the Rodger Dodger Hot Wheel though !!

Ok, I'm strange, I think I still have some Pontiac in me.  In the 1st pic, the car in the fore ground look slike a '70 Firebird and in the 2nd pic from the windshield up (not including the grill) looks like a '69 GTO/LeMans....  ::)

Hmmmm....Roger Dodger, eh?  It does!
