Mystery Car quiz

OK, the Toyota contraption that Sherwood posted has been identified, so here is something else to keep you busy over the holidays.
Here is a car, an unusal and very interesting car.




I have seen this very car, so I can vouch for its authenticity.



I could tell you a bit about it, but for now you'll have to guess.



So what is it? Anyone?

It's not a sports car, and it is running complete.

Good find.
What is interesting is, ugly as this car appears, it looks more like the 70's cars shape.
Compare this to other Grand Prix cars of the late 60's and it is totally different in apperance.
