He’s already got the 5.0 V8 part. Looks like all that’s really got is a S/C DOHC 4.6L, Cowl Hood, and Silver de-badged Cobra R’s. It’s doable. ---

Actually, if you think about it the GTO was perfect for PA. It’s beefy cast-iron suspension parts were designed for bumpy Australia roads. Styling for the Pontiac division was a little less dramatic, rather it was more Chevy like. If it got Chevy badges and a name like Chevelle SS would it have been accepted any better?
