The extensive roll cage intrigues me. Was this car raced as a Supermodified ?

I don't know the year in which it was built. Based on when the photo was taken, I suspect it was built, as-shown, sometime in the 1970s. Of course, it may have been an older car that had lived a previous life.

Let's change this answer to: "I don't know; it's complicated."
