Default Help identifing vintage RC nitro car. Very old

I picked this up the other day and would like some help trying to identifying it. I have done a lot of searching google images and can not find any info on it. Any help would be great. I got it because the tires looked pretty cool and had metal rims.

Wow that's a neat find. Does the engine turn over?

Not sure did not mess with it much. He had an old tamiya tank that I wanted. I forgot about the car and put it on a shelf. I was moving some stuff around and found it.

I don't know what the chassis is but the servos are very old Kraft KPS9's and the motor looks like an un muffled Enya judging by the carb.

So from what year would you say this chassis is from? The mid 80's?

Those servos date back to the late 1960's. I'd guess the chassis is from the early-mid 70's but that's mostly based on the servos and motor, lack of muffler.
