The Shelby Daytona Coupe and the Lotus 7 are the ones I'm most interested in (for now...).

My uncle had an old Lotus kit car. They look like the original but it ends there. If you could have all the features of the original for the price of a production chassis and fiberglass body the real thing would not cost so much. You will never get even close the real features from a kit no matter how much some owners will tell you.
If you want average people to stare at you going down the road, car guys to laugh at you going down the road and to spend loads of cash then a kit is for you.
