Cuda repo shell

[SilverChally]

I believe thats the reason that there aren't places making the completely... emissions, safety standards, etc...

I saw one of the Dynacorn 67 Mustang bodies at Carlisle Sunday. It had a vin plate mounted on the front frame with a serial number on it.

Here are the FAQs from Dynacorn.

Question :
What about the VIN?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer :
A Vehicle or Vessel Identification Number (VIN) is issued by a manufacturer or State Licensing authority. There are three ways for a vehicle to obtain a number.

1) An existing VIN on a vehicle that is titled in your name can be transferred to a repair part (as instructed by your State authority).
2) A number may be issued by your State to ID a custom built vehicle when it passes a safety and number verification inspection.
3) A licensed manufacturer issued a VIN when the vehicle (or vessel) is made and ready for delivery. This can only be issued when a "turn key" (completed) car, truck, boat or aircraft has been manufactured.

Question :
Do I need a donor car?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer :
This project was intended to save rust or collision damaged vehicles by providing a welded shell to start bolting on parts from your car along with the new parts for the restoration. In most States, an application to build a vehicle from scratch is allowed and outlined. Contact your State motor vehicle division to get the paperwork and instructions from them

Question :
Will you be makeing cuda and mustang bodys in the future like anounced in the hot rod mag ? and if so when?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer :
Mustang yes...'cuda? No. We are not into the MOPAR market.

This was discussed on another forum, but I forget if it was Moparts or DC.com. That answer from Dynacorn, about not being in the Mopar market, is a couple of years old now. That couple of years now allows people to get record setting prices for 'Cudas, which may also change Dynacorn's outlook on profitablity. My guess is that if the Mustangs & Camaros sell well & they make a profit, I see them entering the market on Cuda bodies, & maybe at an even higher price.

As long as the car can be legally titled, & I'm sure the Camaros have been already, I have no problem with it & don't see values on originals being hurt. Personally, whether my car has a state VIN with a Hemi, or an original VIN showing a 318, makes no difference to me. If the Cuda body comes out & is the same price as the other bodies, I'll give it some consideration. Like stated earlier, the rusted shell cost, plus more for body & paint makes little sense if you can get one new.

I will believe it when I see it though, so I'll just keep gathering parts for mine & hope Goodmark gets their ass in gear with quarters & fenders at least.
