DEFINITELY not a Corvair! I'm familiar with just about every Corvair kit ever produced (that's not too hard, considering the low number of them!).

Well that's it, just embarras me thoroughly...while you're at it maybe you could come over, give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice over it? That is if you aren't busy of course? 
(i'm just kidding here...I was taking a shot in the dark just because someone else said VW.

It looks like a very good casting with no flashing , and it appears to be molded in a dark gray plastic . Is it a Tamiya kit ?

The Shalako was VW, Porsche, or Corvair powered. This is a stumper. Fiat Abarth?

No Shalako. Not a Tamiya kit. Japan made, though. Not a Fiat.

It looks like a non-top level brand-- Otaki, Doyusha, Nichimo, etc., but I still get an air cooled vibe from it, too. Hmmm, not a Trabant part...

Casey is getting warm - air cooled, yes. Non-top level brand, yes (originally). Not a Trabant part, correct.
Hint...first production sports car for a rather large auto maker.

The last pic I see is of a bunch of Lemons so I`m gonna guess the AMT 58 Edsel Pacer.

...the Honda is closer than the Edsel, it's not a Honda though, and older than the NSX. Production started after Honda's first production sports car, the s500.

Nope. Not a Subaru. I think they made 360s prior to both the Honda 500 and THE kit, and it wasn't much of a sports car! This one is larger than the Subbie's 360cc engine, about 440ccs bigger.
So...air cooled, not a Honda or Subaru, first production sports car for a VERY large auto maker (very large, now, that is), and about 800ccs o' raw power!
