What is this car's (supposed?) claim to fame?

And the point goes to Paul Jaray for the correct answer.

The chronology of this vehicle makes me doubt the authenticity.  It was rebodied as a truck for the movie.  The recent builder indicates the original, rare aluminum body was unrestorable.  (Rust, maybe?  :)  )

Assuming this vehicle actually went through all these changes, does any historical value remain?
