Well it’s foreign because it’s right hand drive. Looks like there are no seat belts, side markers and useless bumpers so I guess pre 1975? Try posting a link in the Australian forum; they are just about as MOD nuts as Americans.

Yeah I'm sure it doesn't have a front weight bias and cars from back then handle fantastic

the weight probably helps keep the front end on the ground though :p

I see 3 'blowers' or at least a big belt/pulley that I'd normally associate with a sc. would probably need one just to get the monster turbos to spool in less than a week.
