Default Help me identify this car, please

Here's a picture from an old calendar, which I basically use as wallpaper once the year is up:

My foggy memory says it's a 1969 Boss Jaguar, though I could be off on that. I tried for a while to find info on it through Google, but no dice.

Anyone know more about this crazy thing?

The thing is, we know it was an E-Type once upon a time, but I have no idea if it's a modern custom or not (the calendar it was in was from a few years ago, but that's nothing to go on, either). I think about George Barris' stuff from the 60's and how crazy it was, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's that old, even if it's not. Hmm...

Found some stuff on this car.
It's a 67 e-type modified by Luciano Sarra.
A Boss 429 sits under the hood.
It was in a variety of car shows in 2000.
