With modifications, it's really what "you" like. We don't drive your car.
While personally I like the Daytona styling, there is much more cost and work to install the Vanacor front end on a 75 (cutting the front fenders and adding the extensions to fit the 80-82 nose). It is not a simple bolt-on. I have personally seen this mod on a 74 vert with an 80 rear tail and it looked vicious. If "you" want the quick mod with the least amount of work then use the Ecklers nose (be prepared to deal with the less than average customer service).
