I love this kit. I mean, I LOVE IT. Why? First of all, it is fairly simple and fairly cheap. Secondly, it (almost) capture the beauty of the classic Ferrari 250 GTO. Sure, it isn't a perfect match, but it's gorgeous nonetheless.

The kit comes from a company called thunder ranch. It's built for a datsun 240, 260, 0r 280 Z car, and only requires minor alterations to the base car.

Also, there are plenty of V8 conversions on the market for Datsun Z's, so don't think this only packs the looks.

There is also a 250 GTO convertible on the market, but it really looks like a cheap imitation.

Hi, how about this mx5 to z3

The mx5 z3

Yeah, I've seen those kits too.

There's an LPG equiped 240Z running around Auckland with a simlar kit on it. It does look nice. especialy from the back.


That MX5 into a Z3 is just silly. I mean why? you could buy a cheap 1.9l Z3 for the cost of the MX5 and the kit, and getting it fitted, and painted.

The Ferrari kits for Datsun 240-280 Z's have been around for over twenty years.
They don't quite look completely like the real thing because of nose length and the windshield/roof lines. But when done they are awesome looking!

my friend has a '62 250 GTO built on a datsun frame with a datsun 6 cyl. It is one of the sweetest kits I have ever seen. :)
