--------While Im sure you are correct in what you have stated about the legalities, I wonder at what point one considers the sheet metal that has been stamped out and then welded together a car.

The issue is not about the car body, it's about placing a VIN tag from another car on that body. THAT is what is illegal. (Not withstanding any civil copyright issues GM may have with the trademarked design of the 69 Camaro)

I think Dynacorn could avoid all legal problems by simply classifying their "item" as a 1/1 scale model of a 69 Camaro shell. They could put a Monogram or Revell label on the crate and then sell them through local hobby shops. It would be just another collectors item like Johnny Lightenings or Hotwheels...only much bigger!
