A Nova Sterling, based on VW Beetle ?
It is special because it has no doors, the top moves with the windscreen.

It is a nova body - but the opening top isn't the reason this example is special

Does the bodykit have something to do with it?

Partly - but more to do with what is under the surface...

This modified Nova is unusual for being Subaru-powered with a flat-four engine.
