I think they've been doing this for about 4 or 5 years. I've seen them for first gen Camaros too.

Hey, you could have a brand-new '70 Challenger in '13. What would you do about the vin is the only thing.
 
It would have a custom VIN, so it would have to meet all of the requirements of the year it was assembled. So, unless it's a rebodied car, :naughty: it's going to have to meet the emissions requirements of the current year model.

Street rod guys that purchase fiberglass bodies and new chassis have to do the same thing. My uncle had a buddy that built a '34 Chevy coupe in '94 that had to do that, so he built his with an almost new at the time 350 EFI motor with an OD trans from a wrecked Vette IIRC.
 
One would think they'd have been better off doing the '70-'72 fastbacks before the '70-'72 notchbacks.
 
Prices aren't unrealistic...

... but how the Hell do they blast them to bear steel??? Trained Grizzlies holding the blast nozzles?
 
Most people prefer the fastbacks, as do I. Just going by demand alone they seemed more logical than the "nachos".

Click to expand...

that would greatly depend on the state...here...you can build any car you like so long as it "resembles" something old and then get away with having no emissions/crash/safty requirements....hell ive seen street registered sandrails....and vin tags that read "my own creation"...cause at a time you could even pick your vin
 
Interesting side note to the original post and the first few responses to this thread:

Dynacorn International announced both the 'Cuda and Challenger unibodies in 2009, shortly after receiving Chrysler's approval to build them. However, not a single unit of either has been sold. There has never been a part number for either, nor has there ever been pricing. They would've had to build at least one of each to get Chrysler's approval, one would think, and obviously there are pictures of those, but they've never been available to the public. Dynacorn released the information and pics to vendors, earmarked "coming soon" and apparently left it at that. Here we are almost 5 years later, and no vendor has gotten any further information about them. Multiple calls over the years from Year One to Dynacorn have brought no new information to light on them, either.

I guess we all made the same assumption that they were being made since all the ballyhoo about them at the time of the press release, but apparently not a one has ever left Dynacorn. They simply don't exist.
 
I wasn't even trying to research that. Somehow it just came up in conversation and I got the full skinny. I've gotta be honest, I was kind of bummed.
 
Yeah too bad they have not continued with the production of these cars. Sure there would be at least a limited market for them.
 
I thought one of the reality shows did a build with one of those bodies....

*goes a diggin*
 
I couldn't find it...

Maybe it was just a mention of them around the same time as all the press release hub-bub..
