It looks kind of like a Lada, but that seems too obviouse. Is it a Lada? Or is it an old Japanese car? I would've though it could be Renault 8 Gordini, but I wasn't sure if that had round lights, but I know it was raced.
Oh BTW, its not a BMW Or a Renault, or Japanese...
Okay hinting time. These things were raced a bit because of they weren't cosstly. Maybe it was easier to scrap the whole car? They are most commonly seen in a sunburnt yellowish, and some rust. They imported cars the the US of A for a while, but they stopped some time ago.
