Anyone recognize this "Porsche"

My neighbor spotted this while taking one of his cars in for service today. He thought it was a nice old 356 but I think we know better. So what is it?

Guesses include a 911 with a 356 style body, a 356 with some sort of 911 style bumpers (I have not seen 911 tail lights Frenched into a bumper like that before), or some sort of kit-car. Who knows?

Here are the only 2 pics he snapped.

Could be, the windshield and door glass looks like it could be authentic 356 or some modified MGB type thing.

The windshield frame is 356B - not sure about the rest. Some sort of body kit for a 356?

Yep, definitely a 356 windshield frame. H5 headlights.

Hmmm, looks like my fraken-356 wannabe 911 has a younger sister!

I once saw a (real) 356 with 964 bumpers and 930 flares. Could be anything.

In a modified bumper.

Reminds me of the 356 with a whale tail that the Emory’s did in the early 80s.
