it looks more like a special filter or very heavy compression. almost as if the color range has been set to a couple thousands max.
The body and underbody are defintely an aftermarket thing (yes, I mean the blue buggy one).
Seen the metal chassis and gold-shocks I think it's the first and standard issue optima-mid (ie with short wheelbase). That said, I'm no expert on the many variations in the mid range

Can't see the chassis bolts, undercover covers the whole alloy plate, the top deck and mounts are for the Porsche body which fits on top of the buggy body, the wing mount is present at right hand side of largest picture.
