Off-topic Dodge sports car, but related to nut job, one for Mahoney?



So this guy has a lot of ratty but fun looking Valiants and Darts,
about 8 or so, and this one truly strange car in the sole garage
bay.

It's a little fiberglas sports car based on a Dart, apparently.
It's clearly (to me) 60's vintage.

The story he told me is this: it belonged to someone in Beverly
Hills, the old guy died or something like that, it was bought by
someone who parked it, something happened to this owner [I can't
recall the details he told me], after it was hauled to a wreckign
yard this current owner immediately went there and hauled it home.

It really is not junk, it might actually be a rare thing. I will
try to go back and get photos.

It's apparently italian made, it does look it. It's fiberglas all
over except the hood; it's a two-door coupe (two seat?), the roof
is fiberglas.  It's substantial, well-finished, not ripply, the
panels I felt and bonked with my palm were fine.

Dark green/army green color. Flat mahogany dash with custom
(non-round, not aftermarket) guages. Didn't see under the hood.

Luckily he's just sitting on it, as this is exactly the sort of
person who ends up with things that fall out of history, and
exactly the wrong person to make it go again. Which he will.  He
didn't even know it was made of fiberglas, for @#$%%^ sakes! He
thinks of it as a "weird" dodge dart. Sigh.

John Mahoney, can you even begin to guess what this could be with
so little information? 60's? Dodge-based? Fiberglas? Sports car
(like)?  Dark green? 1960's?
