Yes; a Cobra Daytona replica.   Made in Australia? Or USA?
Is it well-known?
I'd never heard of it..

This particular one is No. 001 of very few; apparently they are exceedingly rare..

From a Datsun enthusiast site:
"Tom Nalle designed and built a conversion kit to transform Datsun 240Z sports cars into a quasi-replica of the Cobra Daytona Coupe. The kit consisted of a set of fiberglass panels that were attached to the Datsun body. Datsun running gear could be used or an engine swap was available to fit a Ford 302 under the hood. Nalle was located in Richmond, Virginia."

There are few lines in the Beaulieu's Encyclopedia and in Pace's Kit & Specialty Car's book.  ;)
