Tamiya for sure! I love that this hobby has been around long enough for rigs like this to be considered vintage.

thanks guys!!!does anyone know the model of this tamiya and would it sell for alot if cleaned up and started

Once you find out the exact model, it will be easier to find parts. Not that it will be easy by any means, but it will be easier at least. Clean that baby up, piece by piece. Make sure the engine runs and spiff it up some. I'd make that a show piece, but cleaned up it would be worth alot of money.

Do a google search for Vintage Tamiya Nitro. There are a few clubs that can help you out with that. They can also probably give you a more accurate ID. I tried doing an image search, but couldn't find a match, so I'm not really sure if it's actually a Tamiya.
