The base car appears to be a Ford Pinto.

Any connection to Pangra?

The car is based upon a Ford Pinto. Now, I'll just need the name of the builder of the car.

kk, we are getting backed up with puzzles. So, I give a hint, you can find the builder of this machine, on a popular kit car club site. Quite possibly, the most produced kit car(s) ever. :)

Nah. It is a club specializing in a kit car that was produced in very large numbers(2 versions). This will be the club site..where you will be able to find the builder of this machine....and good luck to you.

Bruce Koons also known as Skip20 built this:
"This is a highly custom Ford Pinto, Roof was dropped, build new front end & made a mold for fiberglass front, notice the front inside has finished panel also. New fiberglss rear end w/spoiler & Mazda RX2 tail lights (very rare now) see Pinto back window, the only give away.
 I do have a lot of pictures of this build."

So how does this relate to it?  As far as I can see, it was a one-off kustom.
