If that's true (I'll ask yet again at SEMA), then look for the prices of the rusty and project cars to go up again. So many parts to take a bare unibody to a full car, having a donor is the way to go. Might be a good time to buy that heap....

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?
I sure as hell can't see them spending the immense amount of capital it would take to tool up for these bodies in this bleak economy....don't think you'll see them for a while, but I hope they do this in the future....awesome product
