Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

Converted to run on Hydrogen by Masershi Engine Reserch Lab.

Its pictured at a September 20th 1974 event called the Seed Rally

The date is off (the rally was not a one-day event). The name of the builder is off a bit, as well; the most-cited internet sources are not always 100%correct.

Locked for Wayne B
