I wouldn't buy one, but that's just me. I'm sure it'll sell.
Red 2005 Saturn Ion-3 Coupe
Sign me up !!!!!!!!!!
That is so cool! I would love one of those!
Nice find!

That is pretty cool stuff. I'll be curious to see if they expand the idea to other old models cars.
Have a good one,

I want one.
or two.
I always wanted a classic Chevy, and a 57 would be perfect.

thats kinda like the 69 camaro coupe and convertible bodies that dnyacorn is selling
those sell for about 13k and thats only floor board doors quarters truck and top section no front section or chasis
It would be cool if they start making '37 Ford Roadsters. I know they are very popular for street rods but I love what people can do with them.
Have a good one,

I dont think a Cowl from a 57 Chevy is enough to call it a 'restored' car but whatever.
Neat idea but I still consider it a kit car and should be registered as a 06-07 car not 57.
Either way I could find one waaaaay cheaper and actually be a classic.
How many steps to heaven, Doc?
...Ah, metaphysics.
^^ I agree. It's hard to consider it "restored", however, not losing the VIN to the nether is good, too.
Besides, after watching shows like Overhaulin and American Hot Rod, many of those cars end up donating little more than a frame, too.

For $30K, that's a lot of cash, but, you can get all the rest of the parts (if you don't care about 100% accuracy that is) from other companies like Year One, and others. A good Camaro RS shell is a PITA and a half to find, and if you want something that's going to be powerful and practical (LSx? ) under the hood, you'd be committing sacrelige with a 69 body.
I'd buy one of these if I had the money and the time/ability to build the car the way I wanted.
And now for something completely different... Click the Minister.

Old Camaros are a dime a dozen here in Cali.

I would definitly buy them if i liked them, however, back in the 30s-50s i liked the fords. Id love a 31 Roadster....
I think they're great for a couple reasons.
Personally I wish that people that want to customize a car would just buy a kit like this and hack away. Seeing people take a torch to a classic original car, or throwing an LS1 in a 68 Chevelle just makes me sick.
Plus, the more kits sold...the more affordable they become. I wouldn't pay $30K for one, but maybe I'd pay $15K.
If you just want an old car to 'hot rod', then something like this is the perfect solution.

You bring up a bunch of good points, but like Jon said, it's still a kit car, and should be registered as such.
To me, cutting apart an classic is part of the journey. They are becoming more and more rare every day, and so when you find one that your going to work on (I'm talking original steel) that you pick up and work on for many years, just to show it off and have it look just like some other guys who bought his, it's horrible.
And as much as I dislike carb's (seem so messy and in-efficent) I must agree with GAM, that shoving a LS-whatever is commiting a crime almost as large as putting a 350 Chevy motor in a 32 Ford...you just don't do that. I don't want to start a whole brand bashing, but you've gotta stay true to your colors...
Just my opinions
way too @!#$in expensive
you are paying for a vin basically
sheet metal is sheet metal no matter how you bend it
a friggin number changes that
