That's partly correct, yes, so I'll lock it for you to complete.

A DKW-based race car, hand-built and designed back in 1961, it was found at a scrapyard near Mosport Raceway in Ontario, was rescued and is to be restored in Ontario !

Crikey, that was one of my puzzles some years ago, which would make this a re-post!
However, I have more information about it now so only part of the story was known when tht car was discovered.
So I'll lock it for you to look further into and see if you can come up with its name, which now seems to be known..

 1963 DKW-Porsche TM Special, built by Curtis Thews and featuring a Centaur fiberglass body ?

That's it, yes!
Well done.
I'll have to think about merging it now..
