Ok it's a Ford, it was offered in two and a four door hardtop body styles. They are best known for the unique styling cues and wide array of gadgets including a power rear window that could be lowered to improve ventilation, "twin jet" air intakes at upper corners of car's windshield, "seat-o-matic" automatically adjusting seat, and an average speed "computer".
It came standard with an automatic transmission and a 368-c.i.d. engine producing 290 horsepower (220 kW). This particular car went up for auction in 2006, it had No Reseve and an price estimation of between US$75,000-US100,000, it sold for $US192,000....

You may have to give us a clue, mate. Looks like a product of the late '60s and or early '70s.
