Re: Rebodied cars and do they get certified
David W... I don't know what the weather is like in Maryland, but here in PA a digital camera will work just fine in the cold.
 It's actually supposed to be in the 50s today...How about working on getting some pics of these cars? I think there are more than 2 of us that are anxious to see them.

Re: Rebodied cars and do they get certified
Yes, it is a beautiful day in NJ. How about just providing the VINs so we all know a little more about your cars.

Re: Rebodied cars and do they get certified
Great topic of debate. There will always be differing points on what constitutes a rebody, and what part of the car makes up the "core" if you will. Although there are a number of people here who have no tolerance for any type of "shell" replacement, its interesting to note that GM made it possible to do that very thing by making body shells available for purchase. Note the listing at the top of this page from the 1970 Chevrolet Parts & Accessories catalog. What's your take on a supercar that received a new body shell from GM in 1970, or a car that was repaired years later using an NOS body shell? Some seem to be OK with replacing as many parts as necessary individually, but not if those parts are replaced as a unit, which was possible with these body shells.

Re: Rebodied cars and do they get certified
OK now, be honest, how many of you have just run those part numbers to see if there are any of those bodies sitting around somewhere????

Re: Rebodied cars and do they get certified
Those are Glass numbers showing there.
The actual Body #'s were printed later in a seperate manual. This wasn't as common as we would believe,so very few Dealers even requested parts & pricing info for group 10.001 to begin with.

Re: Rebodied cars and do they get certified
Very interesting...would the Manufacturer be able to get around the VIN tag switching laws ? I bet they could. Or would they have to re-VIN the new body ? hmmmm
