That's part of the answer.
The name of the car I have is (something)-CHE.
I also need the builder's name and the year for the point.
I'll lock it for you until your next reply.

Volks-Che, here are the details:

Automatic translation:

The X-1 project was carried out in 15 months by three gauchos:
 Engineers Haroldo Dreux and Raimundo Alencar Castro.
 The third, who handled the bodywork, Carlan Cordeiro did not see the finished work, but died shortly before
 car go out. The body is a replica of the Porsche-904,
 VW engine wheelbase and power increased to 47HP
 and 1340cm3. His speed: 148 km / h. The rear suspension was
 reinforced with coil springs of Gordini.

I fixed the names...they were lost in translation  ;D!
The year should be 1966.
