crate camaro's?
 

I heard that there is a company that is building GM repoduction 69 camaro's. What have you all heard about them?

Hello and welcome.

Are you talking about a "new" and "turn key" complete reproduction 69 Camaro (new VIN, etc)? I have not heard of any complete cars only individual reproduction GM licensed parts or complete restorations of an existing original car.

Welcome to the site. If you are talking about the new repro bodies...there are some recent topics about this if you look back a bit. I think the over response was that the new bodies are not worth the money, really not in good shape, not to mention the problems with certain states and VINS.

If you are talking about complete cars, I dont know...but Im interested to know.

Welcome

I am talking about the completly welded bodies by the guys in NC. And what is the story about the VIN's

The body's are made by Dynacorn.

The June Super Chevy has an article on one that was built by CARS.

BTW-I heard they could not get GM licensing which is evident by their disclaimer on the web site. It also looks like they aren't selling a complete body like originally planned.

I was at Carlisle last and I heard that they are GM licensed and they are building complete car all the way to a turn key. The thing about the VIN is, if you have a donor car in your name you can change tags and they put a serial number on the body so you can title it as a kit car.

Swapping tags is considered by most a no-no. This topic has been beat to death on every camaro forum since it came up. Last I heard GM still had not liscensed the bodies, but had agreed to. No one is building turn key cars yet. Rumor mill is that Unique Performance, they build the "Elanor" Shelby's, has been buying up 69 Camaros to offer a turn key car. There is a brief mention of it on their website in association with Chip Foose, but none have been built yet.

I enjoy all the rumours about the camaro's. I know that you can swap the tag as long as you are the titled owner. It is on the books from the House of Repersentives. Also GM has licinsed the bodies and they are building them and you can order a body all the way to a turn key if you want. ANd as far as Unique rumour. I also know that they guys in NC are going to be building camaro coupes and 67 mustang too. About Sept. They have about 40 cars to build and have shipped out 6. SO far.

Who is the guys in NC?
