Here are a few pics. I can see it has the large Cox can in it but trying to learn everything I can about these cars.
I missed the '60s scene of this hobby.

Greg,
Certain you are correct! I just looked at on of my Manta Rays and that's same chassis. Got a couple of loose pick-up arms in a parts tray.
Sometimes you know what your looking at but the brain goes blank, I am blaming it on the near 100 degree heat we are having right now

This is a 1/18 diecast, labeled as a Ferrari 350 P4.

Steve is right, a Ferrari 350 CA. There was no P4 version. It was hastily converted from a 330 P3/4 frame and body to get Ferrari's name into the Can-Am series. The engine was a bored out 330 four-cam and the body was 330 P3/4 with the upper half reconfiguered into a true spyder. NART ran a similar car with a much cleaner body, also with an enlarged 330 fou- cam. Though both cars handled extremely well, the just didn't have the HP to compete with the big Chevies. Ferrari eventuall built 6 and 7 litre cars specifically for the Can-Am.
I have that body in butyrate that I am sure is Lancer or Revell.

Just made this body for our WP CanAm class in Denmark - I think it is a Lancer repop
