Question What car is this???!! Help!

What kind of car is this from? I cant figure it out, looks to be a 240 or 280 but im not sure. The hood and fenders are one piece with clips on the sides. It has a scoop similar to turbo models. All fiberglass. Anyone know?

Welcome to ZDriver!

Looks like the Primadonna Z hood... though it's hard to tell by just one profile pic w/ leaves all over.

It almost seems like a custom fiberglass body for a Porsche.


But the hood definitely seems to have a prominent bulge for an engine...

pretty cool, I wonder what the reason was to tear the car down so completely, or maybe it was never made into a complete car... hmmm

so does that mean your gonna get it or what? seems rare enough to make something cool with enough people that know what it is if you ever want to sell it.
