That is Gary Lazaar's (RIP) Hemi covertible.  He started with a 70 panther pink Sport satellite 'vert to make his creation. His car inspired me to make my Daytona 'vert. WINGNUT

I remember he also ran a ad in hemmings. I called him in mid 80s $25 K for it.The older magazine article mentioned belvedere conv and using a wrecked hemi superbird. I found a hemi superbird under his name on 79 wingcar members  RM23ROA170237

Swamp Thing got a coyote

Swamp Thing got a coyote   

Putting the Coyote in it has made it so much more fun. We got 27.5 mpg on the 500 mile round trip to the Garlits show. It does not overheat in traffic anymore, even with the AC on. 420 HP is plenty and these engines can be built with way more with just add ons, before anything in the bottom end needs to be touched. This was my first swap and it was done in a few months, all at home, with the biggest challenge being the exhaust. Electronics was actually pretty easy, even with the 6 speed automatic in it. After doing all the research on the issues a lot of people seem to have putting modern Hemi's into old bodies have, even with kits, I wanted to do something different. This is the 3rd Powertrain this car has had in the 27 years I owned it, and even my kids like it better since it does not smell like gas all the time with the cats on it.

Not to mention the obvious bonus of driving the purists nuts. Most people who seem offended by it, miss the whole Roadrunner/Coyote reference, at which point they think its brilliant.

...Also mentions it is the car with the Coyote engine in it

I thought "Swamp Thing" was a cloned Superbird.  The CoPart shot looks like a cloned Daytona.

I doubt there is anyone else crazy enough to put a Coyote in a wing car, and mine is safe at home.
