It appears to be a 914 center section.
It's a Skoda silhouette body on a spaceframe chassis probably with a Chevy V8. Mick Hill in the UK raced a similar car.

Tonite she came home and said, "Really, three trailers and 6 skidsteer attachments in the driveway. Why do you need all of this stuff and why do you leave it right there."
