Guest Anonymous Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 there is a GTO body kit out there. Are you sure it was a 308? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 A fellow in Arizona by the Name of John Washington had the molds for either a Z or ZX in a 308 stlye. He has a website but I do not know it. He also makes the Datsun 250 GTO in convertible and coupe plus a wide fendered called the subtle Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 The ZX Daytona kit can be found at: Reaction Research I have been eyeing the GTO kit but will only do that after everything else that can be done IS - if then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tom sixbey Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 i was thinking of the ferrari 308 gts (1979 or so) like the car in magnum PI.. - i could've sworn that i saw one on a zcar site somewhere, but now that i've started slooking for it again, i cant find it....

jeromio Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Opinion follows: I really think that any kind of a 308 style body kit would just look un-right on a Z. The 308, being a mid-engined car, has a very short front end (in fact, on the real car, the footwells are narrow and angle towards the middle due to the wheel well). The Z on the otherhand, has a very long, pronounced front end. It would be virtually impossible to make the car resemble the 308, or most any other mid-engined car. Someting like a Daytona would make much more sense since that is a front engined car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 There was another Arizona company that used the Fiero as a base for a Ferrari 308 replica kit. It was called the "Mera". I think Ferrari sued them out of business about 10 yrs. ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 you can make a fiero into just about anything, but its still a bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tom sixbey Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 ha - i hate to agree, but i must. Although i must say i've seen some WICKED v8 swaps into the fieros... BTW it would be damn cool if some company actually made a shelby daytona kit for the zcar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Don't know if they are still around, but Puckett Auto Designs used to make a Shelby Daytona coupe kit for the Z. That and a Ferrari 250 GTO were always in the ad in the back of Kit Car magazines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Saw a site with a Cobra Daytona Coupe replica under construction (the car, site was pretty upt o date). I think it was at our buddy Vinh's site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
