US sidemarkers, 1970-73 tailgate badge, pre-73 grille (as fragments of upright grille bars in front crash photo), pre-75 bumpers but March 76 onwards badge on rear pillar and cabin looks 76-ish mix of details. So my guess is a 76 US-spec mongrel/bitsa car which has been retro'd to look early.

The rear pillar badge is such an odd obscure detail for anyone to decide an earlier car needed one, but if this is switched to 1970+ US spec, I won't lose any sleep.
