Well sort of...

It's a high quality brand new 1969 all steel convertible camaro featured in october Hot Rod magazine, it should sell around $12,000 for the body-chassis or can be sold as a complete and brand new car, there is already 115 orders, a camaro coupe version will be available, also the 1967 Fastback Mustang and there is discussion about doing a 69 mach and 70 cudas...

Darn that looks freaking sexy. If I had the money and the time I'd get a body and chasis and get a hotrod built out of it like that one. Noth that green tho. Maybe a Peasoup Green. That would look hot.

Wow... Beautiful car.

I'm starting to feel sorry for Camaro fans, however... All they have to look at is in the past.

They say it would be easy to build a 67-68 camaro or early firebird with this body, obviously since it's the same body-chassis but with different fenders and hood...so I suppose when they build the 67 fastback mustang it could be made into a shelby clone with modern mecanics...imagine that ! a "new" 67 shelby that would outhandle, accelerate faster than the original and could be used as a dependable dayly driver... B) They also mention it will be possible to buy a brand new complete convertible camaro for around 40k.

I have always thought that would be a good idea(taking a classic car, and making brand new ones), glad to see someone did it (I just wish it were me...)

In a few years, when I gots the time and money...I see a brand new 67 Stang being built in my garage...unless someone makes a 300SL complete body.

That is awesome... A classic without the hassle of cutting out rust.

I think we're seeing the start of a new trend--reproduction muscle.
I LIKE the idea!
Wonder when we'll see the MOPAR and Ford bodies?

This might be a reaction to the rising ricer scene.

Companies are hesitant to put out modern muscle cars, but bringing back the classics to show Riceboy what a car really SHOULD be seems to be acceptable.

that is awsome..what is the name of the company, and do they have a website?

Man, the possibilities (with money of course), technically if you had '67 stang body you could build a 68 Shelby out of it, which is one of my favorite cars.

By the time you finish the car, you will have as much (or more) than what you could have just bought a (real) finished and ready-to-rideCamaro SS RS (or Z28) in concours condition.

I'd rather have a 'stang.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to me to drop 40 large into building that, but to each his own. My parents had a 67 Camaro convertible and my first new car was a 1970 SS350 Camaro, but I like the 67-68 Mustangs better.

I guess that's why I like the 2005 Mustang so much.
