That is one of the promo vehicles from the MPC modeling companys' Zinger model kit advertisements. There was a whole group of machines that went around to all the international show car events. They all had engines like that. They were pretty cool for young kids. What a neat find.

I recall seeing all the Zingers! cars at local car shows / autoramas in the mid to late Seventies.
