    T-rex, Batmobile, Atom, KITT and Kubblewagon ain't kit cahs. A lot of the rest are body kits, NOT "kitcars" and a couple are from plans that you have to make all the parts for yourself. Of course you missed the two biggest kitcars of all time, the various takes on the Lotus 7 and of course, Cobra.

    You wonder how many of these used the Pontiac Fiero as the starting platform?

    At least 40 of them started as VWs!

      That was a plan set you could order from various magazines (Popular Mechanics mostly) in the early '70's; not an actual kitcar. Went on a VW chassis. Don't recall the name.

      IIR what you're calling a Nova the yanks call a Sterling (or vise/versa). I know there's a Huge club of them in Britain.
