My guess is something Can-Am(or the like) more than an f1 car...
My guess is a McLaren M8B. Can anybody confirm?Comment

Yes! Well I knew it looked to be a Chevy v8(The dfv's fords used around that time are incredibly distinct looking), and then the side tanks and steering wheel gave it away.Comment

Ah, so close! It is a Can-Am car...a McLaren M8E! Have some more pictures, as well as a little bit of info about this magnificent beast.Originally posted by FunfGan View Post
...This 1971 M8E, #80-04 was one of a dozen customer cars built, with this specific car originally raced by Vic Elford for Roy Woods racing in the 1971 Can-Am series. With a few podium finishes, It finished 9th overall...
...#04 is powered by an all aluminium 496 Chevy Lucas timed fuel injection, Weaver Brothers dry sump. Steel crankshaft, Vertex magneto. Plumbing is Aeroquip. The engine builder was expert: Sherman Pick. The monster has been dyno’d and the exact amounts are none of your business.. But the number might start around an eight and ends with some zero's;)...
...Getting the power to the ground is the original Hewland LG500, Completely rebuilt, 4 speed with reverse, limited slip differential. Stopping her is 12 inch diameter rotors, with Lockheed magnesium alloy callipers front and rear. Her chassis in an original Aluminium monocoque with steel bulkheads. She has a Wheelbase- 95", Front track- 58", Rear track 55.5". Those rear wheels are a well needed 15 x 17 inches...
...M8E’s are well known for there handling abilities. Helping this is front unequal length A arms with coil over Koni shock absorbers, magnesium uprights front and rear. The rear also has twin trailing arms with single top link and inverted bottom A arms. Rack and pinion steering, heavy duty BRD roller splined half shaft...
Vids!
