...the sheetmetal doesn't look right, especially that black corrugated piece in the upper left corner of the pic, which reminds me of the plastic engine cover of a Fiat X1/9.
  
I'm stumped.

 
Any day I can stump Stephen 987 is a good day. Anyone else wanna try this one, he's actually getting warm?

This HAS to be a Corvair motor. That fuel pump is distinctive. Beins as how it has an alternator, it's in the '65-69 version.

57 Ford wagon is a Country Sedan rather than Squire I believe. Gold car a Rambler American? Blue car by Ford wagon maybe a midfiftes Hash (Hudson/Nash)?

Thanks. You're exactly right. The Squire had wood paneling, right?

Yep, a Corvair engine, not a 914-6...a Corvair engine in an X1/9? Not that I'm copying...
 
edit-too late, looks like Cooter got it...

AKA 1962 Corvair 95 Rampside so called because the side folded down for easy loading.>
