Is it mentioned as Pontiac-engined in the aforementioned book?

Nope.
The builder is mentioned there with a special with a different engine.
My source, a couple of magazines, shows 2 pics with detailed technical specs and there is reported that the car had different engines (Ford and Cadillac) but in this form is equipped with a Pontiac engine. The body was not by Devin or Meteor...but not an obscure name.

Noot by him.
The car is named after his (winning) driver.

The builder of the body is not American, sorry!

Sorry about that but if I tell you where the body comes from it'll be too easy.

Last clue.
This car had many different configurations.
One should be quite known and you can find 5 pages of results googling these names (body builder and driver) and the another was already featured here.

We have a Winner!
This car is called (in my source) the Meyer's Pontiac Special.
Well done!
