I think its one of eight Scarab build by Lance Reventlow in the late 50's. McQueen had one with a 283 FI converted to to street.

A couple of neat ones from Republic Aviation. I worked at this airport as a mechanic, in the hangars in these pics.
XP-72 sitting in front of Hangar 2, which is the oldest hangar still on the airport and was one of the original structures used by Seversky Aircraft, which later became Republic. I used to service Cessnas right where this thing is parked. The second pic with the XF-91A on the stands is also in Hangar 2. I spent 5 years working in and around that hangar, but it was filled with Piper Navajos, a Lear 25 and other GA type airplanes. The 3rd pic shows an XR-12 Rainbow flanked by a P-47 and an RC-3 Seabee, in front of Hangar 3. I also work in this hangar once in a while. It is now the American Airpower Museum, and is once again filled with WWII era airplanes! The Rainbow still holds the speed record for 4 engine piston aircraft. 4th pic has an F-105, again parked in front of hangar 2 5th pic is hangar 2 in 1937, when it was part of the Seversky factory.
