Can any one put a name and year on this car? it says Spyder on the side.. i dont know if its a model or not.. this car is beautiful in person, it looks cherry. I could drive one for sure.. the side of the hood scoop reads "350 HP".

That's a modded Corvair (pre 1965; ie. 1st gen body style). "Spyder" was a trim line name for some Corvairs. I believe a 110 hp flat six was the engine, but I also think some were factory turboed. Not sure.
The mods involve the front grille and hood bump.
Corvairs were rear engine rear wheel drive. Here's wiki on them:
