As you can tell by the inverted tail lights, this is a rare view of an upside-down Ford Pinto.  :)

This is a Trimuter manufactured by RQ Riley.
It's been modified a little though.  The door opening was originally a one-piece hatch thing, and this looks like it's been converted into a more conventional door-type passenger compartment.  The Pinto rear lights are also custom fit compared to the original round units.

It could but..

..this is the full answer so bubenator gets the point.

Here are some more photos of this modded one and another version; I doubt if any two were alike..:
