Default Re: 80's factory lightweights?

there has been a program in existence since the 70s...i know GM had them..they sold a car to technical schools etc and called them "bodies in white"

NO VIN just a brand new shell in primer. The company i work for gets them often in current production...especially BMWs for training processes etc..we use them to measure and do structural repairs in a training process..



I remeber somewhere seeing an article or some print on a Fox body mustang that could be bought as a "body in white" to be used as a race car..but it was not a car per-say it was a brand new shell with absolutely nothing on it..and was bolted to a crate

I saw an early 80s camaro, before the body change, as a shell..it was bought and intended to be a race car and it was never built

I know these arent exactly what you are asking about..but...could you imagine if one made it on the street..you could do anything you wanted

by the way..in modern times..the cars are owned by the factory and must be returned and or crushed when done with.
