The Fourvette?

Have a look at this "1980 Chevy Corvette Four Door [That] Can't Be Unseen," which is currently being sold for a whopping $217,203.

Yes, it's got four doors. How did this monstrosity come to be? Interestingly, Super Chevy reports that:

"Chevrolet had actually planned on making this family minded sports car at a rate of 40 per year, and to call it 'Corvette America.' It was designed by California Custom Coach in Pasadena. The one prototype and five production cars that were assembled were built by cutting two cars in half which, when mated together, extended the wheelbase of the vehicle by 30 inches."

Obviously, response was muted and the car never saw production.

Four doors. Four T-tops. Zero taste.

  The Panamera is faster, handles better, looks better, and costs less! Lol
  
  Maybe Porsche was inspired by this custom build? This thing was doomed to fail though at more than twice the price of a standard Corvette...
