I think it is a Maserati Mexico, rebodied in Canada ( in the 70s I suppose ) ; it was on sale in Belgium some years ago...

You are correct.
But since I asked for its builder too I need you to tell me that for you to get your point!
If I knew how to lock the puzzle I would do so but I will give you 72 hours to come up with your answer.
Not sure what I have to do if you can't find it though, because you have identified the car.  Half a point maybe!!

To lock a puzzle is enough for you to state that.
Will be our care not to post any guesses here since the lockdown is active.

Come on Frank - give me that last little bit of info as this needs to be moved to the Solved section!
You've done all the hard work and you can't NOT find out the builder's name!

72 hours has passed I believe. With due respect to Frank: 1966 MASERATI MEXICO SPECIAL #AM 112126
One-off hand built aluminium-bodied special built on a shortened Mexico chassis, with all Maserati drivetrain. Rebuilt 4.2 litre V-8 and 5 speed ZF transmission
Built by Monty McGale to showcase his skill as a designer and fabricator, this ‘special’ required two years of full time work to complete.

Excellent information and you've earned yourself a point.
Actually I've given Frank a point as well because with his identification it made it incredibly easy just to Google it in and get the info (unless anyone objects that is!)
Well done to you
