Here are some italian-made Politoys models from ca. 1970: Toys back then (everything opens, working steering), but a good base for improvement: aside from the de Tomaso Mangusta which is toolong and too flat, bodies have rather good proportions. Here are: Abarth 2000 SP (2 - ltr. sports prototype, 1968), Alfa Carabo (Bertone dream car, 1968) and de Tomaso Mangusta (model is of the 1966 prototype) and the 1966 OSI Scarabeo (Alfa Romeo):

Could yours be a built-up of Sankyo's 1931 Alfa Romeo Gran Sport (has been reissued in 1970 by Midori, in 1975 by Union, in the 80's once again by Union, and finally in the late 80's by Revell)

You have a Lancia B 24 Spyder in between those Alfas, Gary (the silver one with red interior)

I have built one in the '80s - it was called "Street fighter" it had quite a few issues (IIRC, it could not be built stock, but only as a street rod/lowrider) - here was my built-up:
