The Shredder (aka the Lincoln Corvette)
Browsing through eBay, I found this jem. According to the seller, it once belonged to John Belushi. This car is all kinda of wrong, starting with the fact that it's a Corvette that has Lincoln emblems and a Continental style trunk. And what appear to be taillights from an AMC Gremlin. I'm not sure where the rest of the pieces came from, but they kind of look FoMoCo (althought I suppose the headlight units could be from a 70's era Caprice).
I'm not sure if this is technically a NeoClassic design, but they did often use Corvettes of this generation and try to glam them up. This one isn't quite as "lux" as some of them, but the peaked, squared up fenders do look very NeoClassical.
One of the best parts of this car as how it's been continually fugged through the decades, with 80's style "Shredder" decals and modern blingin' dubs.
