Came across this website with pictures of a 1970 Dodge Challenger with special body.Frua body
Its based on a car sent CKD for final assembly in Switzerland that got a special made body instead.
Obviously not a show car but intended for regular use.
There is an english translation top left but pics don´t open when used.

Looks more like a Jensen Interceptor to me.

If you use the google translator, the pics will still open. Google Translation

VERY cool! Definitely not the sound you'd expect to hear when looking at something like that! thumbs

I think it looks a LOT better than a Jenson, ESPECIALLY the roof line.

the car has a full Challenger R/T SE VIN - JS29N0B159643 & matching cowl stamp - I don't think that's how CKD (complete knock down) units were ID'd shruggy

Looks like a Monteverdi. Also Mopar based with Frua body.

There is some written about the 375S also. Note the comment about the 400SS (440 ci 2x4bbl), "not made".

Was the 402 oil pan on the 440/383 HP engine from '68-'70 because here's the 402 pan on Jay's 440 wink

If I had cubic dollars, I'd put a Monteverdi, an Iso Griffo (IMHO, better looking than the 'Verdi) and a Pantera in my collection.

Both of those Chevy iterations look pretty good, too. It's worth noting that all of these cars are very similar in basic profile to the Ferrari Daytona, and later 456.
