A strange car.......
I don't know who was responsible for this or when but I'll give you a point for naming the base car and model.

I should also add that the radiator on this car somewhat resembles it's donor car (if you screw up your eyes!)

Not that one.
Let me tell you the capacity of the engine is 3435cc so it has a model name and number.
Still locked for you for one more guess...
