Looks more like a Nereia.

According to the Internet Movie Database, it's based on a Chevy Corvette.

It should be illegal to do that to a Corvette, even a 1968

The "Cimbria SS" name came from http://www.javelinamx.com/CarStars/tvcar2.htm but I do not know how accurate is that info...

The front, side vents and profile are definately corvette. The Cimbria SS has a completely different front. While many of the cars in this movie were VW based, I don't believe this is one of them.

This car is in the My Garage museum at Mid America Motorworks in Effingham, Illinois. It's a kit car, very downsized from a full-size Vette, and is powered by a flat 6 Corvair motor hidden down under the dummy engine that is visible.

This is titled as a 1968 VW, and the Body is made out of a Corvette. For sale for $14K: Link to "volocars.com"

Frankenstein's "Monster" was built from a Shala-Vette kit car, not a Chevrolet Corvette. All of the cars in Death Race 2000 were built by Dick Dean. The Shala-Vette and his more famous Shalako were both VW based street buggy type kits designed and produced by Dean.
