Just guessing, but would tend to agree with Craig, that it could be an early Z1 disguised as a Honda for road testing prior to public introduction. Or a replica of such. Or maybe just a sleeper.

Good Fortune! :)

You guessed it, it is a very rare prototype before the fall 1972 Z1 release...used for testing.
