just a guess, but it looks like a Specialized mountain bike with front suspension. Not sure what's going on with that rear suspension.

1996 Specialized Ground Control A1
Brand new it was $1,499, so you might be able to get a few hundred dollars if you find the right buyer.

That frame would be great for someone who wants to do a custom utility cycle build.
It wouldn't be too hard to make an extension for the bottom, and the attachment points for the shock would make attaching a strong deck for the top incredibly easy.
Another nice thing about rear suspension designs is that by changing the length of the shock (or the angle of the extension for the utility cycle idea) you can change the geometry of the bike.
I turned an old FS (FlexPro I think, but it's been a while) into a comfort cruiser. A shorter softer spring gave it a lower bb and more relaxed angles, and made for a smooth ride over potholes and cracked pavement. For a utility cycle I'd probably go the other direction and raise the seat tube a couple degrees (and probably lose the front suspension), but that's just my preference.
