For one point: What was this car, who made it look like this, and in what event was it competing?

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

It's a Datsun 120Y Coupe.
As for the rest, I'll have to dig through my old magazines.

Is the appendage on the hatch, designed to give a following bicyclist an air pocket to ride in?

No - it serves a far different purpose.

The date is off (the rally was not a one-day event). The name of the builder is off a bit, as well; the most-cited internet sources are not always 100%correct.

Locked for Wayne B
