Wheel arches look like Bertone designs.
Could it be Italian

Not Bertone, or Italian in any way!

I think it is a proposal for a Datsun
Perhaps the 240K GT Coupe?

Well spotted Oswald, it is a Datsun design but it's not for the 240K (or any type of Skyline). Locked for you to come up with the correct model.

Yes, the 120Y Coupe would be my next bet.

Wingroad, this puzzle was locked for Oswald, which means you can't answer until I unlock it again.

However, this was not a proposal for the 120Y Coupe, or any other Sunny. I'm going to keep this locked for Oswald for one more guess to see if you can complete the answer.

Hmmm, I could only give a wild guess.
A Bluebird 1600 Coupe proposal perhaps?

Is it a JDM Datsun or was it sold worldwide?

I don't think it was ever sold in Europe, though it was sold in North America and (I believe) Australia.
