Alfetta GT / Alfetta GTV, depending on the year.
"de Deon" rear suspension - the diff and transmission are the aluminum case attached to the body, so an independent suspension. The black beam is actually a triangle that keep both wheels perpendicular to the road the way a solid axle does. Best of both worlds. The smaller pivoting bars control your lateral movement as it moves up and down. You can see the inboard brake discs that someone has painted red - even less unsprung weight out on the wheels.

Then they put the Busso V6 in it and called it the GTV6..... it got a hump in the hood to clear the intake.

Somewhere along there the factory was playing around and stuffed the 2.5L Montreal V8 in there and called it the GTV8! With carburetors! They only built a few, I think they wanted to rally them.
