I had it as 1968 but you're close enough for the point.
It's on my database as an Amato Kinko but I have very few details about it.
Perhaps someone has more information?

It still exists.
I couldn't find the name 'Kinko' in any of the sources.

"Amato / Kinko - prototype built in 1969 by Salvatore Amato, was later sold to Eagle pilots Evandro Luis Ostrower and Stanley. According to Eagle's own account, the car had serious problems with directional stability due to the short wheelbase of .. well, well ... 2.10 meters! So bad, was not even being used in racing."

According to my source, the puzzle pic shows the first version of the Amato, which had a badge reading "Gina" in 1968 on the front end:
