Here is what I found out...looks like it started as a Holden:
"This is a Perentti coupe, Corvette Stingray C3 look-a-like only cheaper. Fibreglass Australian built tilt front body. Built on tough as nails Holden 1 tonner chassis. Engine is 350 Chev V8 with Turbo 350 auto trans. Engine has 4 barrel Holley and alloy manifold. All parts used in car come from locally delivered vehicles (eg Gemini, Kingswood etc) so spares are easilly available."

well the one on the ebay site is a replica of the corvette summer car. the perentti i have doesnt' have those additional body modifications, but i agree i don't like the bonnet scoops
