Wonder what they will cost?
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

They have been licensed, but do not say they have actually started production.  They've been saying for 3+ years that they would be building them, but nothing, yet.  Remember Foose and his Foose Challengers?  Never happened because the parts market was too small to get enough shells and parts to build anywhere near enough to turn a profit.  This still has potential because you will be starting with the shell, but you still need the parts car or whatever to make the VIN work, unless you want to register it as a kit car?

It is very cool that there may be potentially a day when they are going to do that but Dynacorn has been making the Mustang and '69 Camaro bodies for several years and you don't really hear about a lot of cars being used from them despite what a great idea it was.  The cost is very prohibitive and for the money you could still find a half decent car that can have a resto done on it, full blown or a light resto, and not have issues with VIN #s and such...

...still a cooll idea though...

Like 73Chally mentioned, do you register it as a kit car?  :clueless:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.
