It must be my lucky day, because the odds of seeing not one but two fake Ferrari’s in a single day are significantly smaller than the odds of seeing two real ones, especially in LA, where not a day goes by that I don’t see dozens of exotics. The real ones aren’t even worth photographing anymore. 
Here, we have two opposite ends of the spectrum. In this corner, a Firebird dressed up to look like a 308 has gone horribly wrong (and the Machiavelli window decal doesn’t help). It’s daily driven because I’ve seen this one parked in a few different spots around town, and considering the shitbox-ness of the exterior, the interior is in surprisingly good shape.
And in the far corner, a Datsun 280Z with a 250GTO body on it! The latter is executed very well, at first glance it appears to even be the real thing. But the proportions are a bit off and the interior is a bit, well, Datsun. The odds of a small-bore V12 under the hood are somewhere between slim and none, but with the right carbs, exhaust, and tuning, you could conceivably make the Datsun’s Six sound pretty good too. It may not be the real thing, but someone put a lot of thought and effort into it, and it’s even got a roll cage!
HAHA! The Datsun is done up quite well at first glance. A for Effort. The Firebird on the other hand… not so much.
This looks to be the same kit for the 2nd car….

wow the one in that article is powered by a BMW V12! That's much cooler than this one, but still, looks to be the same body for sure.
Ha, the guy that owns that Datsun tried to trade it in to my store. He also tried to join the Ferrari club online.
