You could always scratch build a Countach - like this guy in the States.
Linky
It only took him 17 years and he had to excavate into his basement to get the completed car out 
It is a real work of art with full aluminium bodywork.

Ok...the one in the basement is very nice, very accurate. Yet the one in the ad is pretty awful.
Why? Well, the Countach panels are nearly flat.....but they ARE curved.... very slightly, very subtley, and that IMO makes the biggest
difference....assuming both were finished.

The original beetle based "kit" was called a Panache
Very few built thank god!
This is coming from a man (me) who built a Mirage Countach and took 5 years getting the body right!

Sounds like he wants to end up with something decent and is prepared to put some money into it. So for pity's sake make sure he doesn't
start with that pile of crap!! That looks less like a Lambo than that Triumph TR40 thing looks like a Ferrari. In fact that thing looks less like a
Lambo than a TR40 looks like a... battleship What on earth happened to that rear wheel arch? Looks like someone slipped - but a slow slip over
weeks of mold making/glassing with constant inspection? How??
Uuurgghhh
