All I am sure of that it is a slot car and that it has Continental on the tires.
If anyone can help me identify this car, I would be truly grateful.

Who made this HO slot car? What year was it made? What car is it modeled after? It looks smaller then the other HO cars I have...

I'm not an HO guy, so I'm really out on a limb here, but based on the headlight cover shape and the louvers in the big rear window, I'm going to guess that the car being modeled is a Porsche 904.
And I think the maker is Faller of Germany, but have no idea of the year of manufacture.

It's an Atlas Zinger Porsche 904 from the mid-1960s.

Indeed. They came in racing sets but also in kits under blisters on a small card...
