PaykanHunter's website kept showing up different versions, sometimes returning to earlier trim features or mixtures of different elements. This looks mid-70s sporty version inspired by UK GLS, but I can't go further.

Compare this slightly boy-racered and undated example with earlier bumpers, and a few other pics can be found by googling. With these deeper bumpers and the grille badge, I'm guessing about 76 for this one.
