Not a rebody and actually a great example of how much work can be involved while keeping the core and being of an original car intact w/ all tags and Vins locations remaining unaltered in any way..
And each their own but aside from agreeing that this car is not a rebody, please count me as having the complete opposite views to southernfried's ideas noted above..

Pete, if I was offering to give you 2 piles of parts at no charge, on the condition that you would use the parts to build one car, which would you rather have (an let's say that the contents of the piles were full documented and posted on this website so everyone knew what the finished car was made up of)?
Pile "A": a firewall/cowl with tags & numbers intact from a '69 ZL1.
Pile "B": the tags, entire engine w/ all accessories, entire transmission w/ all accessories, drive shaft and entire rearend from a '69 ZL1.
I would rather have pile "B". My rational is that I would have a nice rebodied Camaro with all the "important" ZL1 parts.
If I chose pile "A" I would have a Camaro with a ZL1 firewall.
It's just my opinion and I know I am in the minority (I would guess I could be a minority of one).
To me once the original drivetrain is gone a car might as well be a clone. JMHO, which is not shared by the market apparently.
