This is either a IKA (Industrias Kaiser Argentina) Torino or Renault Torino. (IKA became Renault Argentina in 1977.)
Essentially it's a Rambler American built under license by Kaiser. The front and rear body panels, bumpers and interior are significantly different from the Rambler. The redesign was done by Pininfarina.
The drivetrain was a bit of a hybrid. The engine was a Jeep "Tornado" I6, which was fed by Weber carbs. The gearbox came from ZF.
These cars sold well in Argentina and were often raced very successfully.
These are very cool cars and not often seen in the US. The ad is sketchy. The car may be in South Florida, or it may be in California. The asking price of $499.00 seems insanely low. Who knows? Maybe the ad is legit and this is a genuine bargain. If you live in South Florida or California, it's worth sending an e-mail, I guess.
