They have said that repeatedly, but it is possible they changed their mind. If they did start popping parts, I'd expect '69 Charger and 71 Cuda before anything. However,if Dodge got involved, they likey would push Challengers ahead of anything else.

Dynacorn has been reproduction a  ton of Challenger parts lately from 70 grilles to frame rails with inner fenders. They have been working on the 70 Challenger body for a while and it is expected to be priced around $15000. The 71 cuda body is next and from what I have heard those are the only 2 Mopar bodies they will do. Also I have heard from several vendors that Dynacorn is a nightmare to deal with, for example one person I know got one of their Camaro bodies and all of the associated parts from Dynacorn and had major fitment problems, Dynacorns response was yes they do fit and tough. So anyone who wants one of these bodies needs to be aware of how hard they are to deal with. Now that doesn't mean some people don't have good luck with them, just that there are some really bad horror stories. I am at SEMA and will definitely be stopping by their booth.

That's all well & good ,
but I think they missed the boat on the 'Cuda when the market was great and everyone wanted to build a Hemi 'Cuda clone/recreation/etc.

Still would be cool to have the option to buy a new E-Body w/o rust & straight panels.

Ya I talk with them every year at a local show they go to. Last time they said about 15 grand for a body.

I know AutoRust Tech, does a whole body's rust repair for $15,000.  This body being available, is a whole 2nd option.  It looks SWEET!   Maybe they'le make convertible bodies next?

i spoke with them before the show opened,they said the price was around $17500, i asked if the cuda was next, they said they are considering it, looked pretty nice, i densor steel, fully e-coated, and it appears they use more spot welds in critical places where it will add structural rigidity., overall a pretty nice piece.

that looks good from the picture  :clapping:   I`m looking forward to seeing someone build one of those with original parts... wonder how it will all fit.  I`m also wondering how many top condition hemi & 440-6 cars will suface in the time to come.....  :sly:
