Thank you for locking this puzzle so early in its history, but I'm having trouble solving it. It looks like a Canada Class car, a short-lived attempt to encourage Canadian enthusiasts to build and race their own designs. I have checked the usual sites for results and can find nothing.

Is it VW based ?

Information on Canadian domestic racing is hard to find. Even a very well-known results site has limited information. The only Canada Class VW special I can find is that of Hans Krusemer and the puzzle car is not that.

I  think it would be best to unlock.

VW-powered, front-wheel-drive Canada Class racer of Cecil E. Simmons, built in the late 1950s.
