At least this one runs and drives- for what it's worth. Interesting drivetrain choice, as McBurnie Daytonas were typically on a Corvette C3 chassis

Get yourself a Sonny Crockett outfit ....   Woody posted one also, but it won't open for me.  Same car?

The bumpers and front corner/sidemarker lights would be tough to source, I think. The Sonny Crockett outfit would be much easier...

Woody posted one like six years ago and somebody bumped an old thread.

I recall seeing a 250 GTO replica built on some kind of Z-car chassis (I believe it was a 280 ZX). It looked pretty convincing to me, but then again it was a quite a few years ago.

I always thought something like that would be fun to do some track shenanigans with.

There are a coupla outfits still selling those body kits. They're built on the '70-'79 Z-car chassis. The giveaway is the lack of wing windows and the hatch is from the Z-car. Otherwise pretty convincing.  You can even build a Spyder...

For the price of a Z car, I'd look at a real Ferrari.

They were awesome in the early '80s. 
With the rust potential of the early Z cars, probably not a great plan today. 
definitely one of my favorite body transformation kits ever.
