Looks to be a bit of a blob? Could it be a Jetaway?

Looks similar, with the big servo in the right place, same overall shape, but the model is missing the tailshaft housing...

Known as "Super Turbine 300", it came only with the BOP bolt pattern, so don't bother looking in Chevy kits.

Here's the other side:

A lot of older annual kits have the transmission tailshaft molded as part of the chassis.  That goes back to their origins as dealer promos.  Scratch a tailshaft and add it to the kit transmission...problem solved.

Stumpy trans...but for a reason.

Typical engine-chassis arrangement on AMT annual kits of this period (including the steel axle through the engine block).
