Does the aftermarket companies supply enough OEM replacement components that someone could build a "new" 1970 Cuda/Challenger using only those items ?
Dynacorn used to advertise a complete 70 Challenger body shell however I am not sure if they ever sold one.
No. There are still tons of parts not being reproduced.

I believe Dave at Roseville can set you up if you are looking for one. :cheers:

:iagree:
Yet the mopar world seems much more critical and suspicious of building a car with one of these than the GM and Ford crowd are, despite the Mopar pedigree being much easier to prove than the GMs and Fords.
No Cuda though.
If I was building a Pro Touring (I think that's what they are called) modified car I would be tempted to build one of the Dynacorns with a govt. issued VIN. I see no ethical or build problems with doing that. My son has Factory 5 Cobra kit car, it seems to be the same idea.
Not possible but you would make Tony very happy for those hard to find parts.
My guess is that you could build maybe 75% of one. ????
I'm not wanting to build one, but was just curious if it was possible.

I've always wondered about the Dynacorn bodies. People love to jump on cars that have a lot of metal work done and call them re-bodies but in my opinion, if someone buys a new Dynacorn body and sticks a factory VIN on it, that's a total re-body :alan2cents: :pokeeye: :notsure:

Or a Taiwan import. :haha: :rofl:
Yup: That's why I said a state issued VIN, so there would be no question it wasn't a "real" car.
There are enough body parts out there I've toyed with the idea of recreating a Kit Car. This wouldn't require some of the small, minor bracket and pieces a street car would need, but can be done with frame rails, floors and body panels.
I think when I broke out the costs, it would run around $4k US to build the basic chassis without body. More than what I'd want to spend to actually put one in an oval track class, but not so much that it wouldn't make a great autocross or track day road racer.
I agree, that would be a neat package. Easy to control the weight as well.
