When OEMs Won't: Five Firms Craft Complete Classic-Car Bodies
Restoration enthusiasts can source full shells or panels from five firms—GTO Engineering (Ferrari 250s), Superformance (Cobra/GT40/Daytona replicas), Real Deal Steel (American Chevy/Firebird/Jeeps), Jiangsu Juncheng Vehicle Industry Co. (Bronco, 240Z, 911, 300SL shells), and British Motor Heritage (MGB, Mini, Midget/Austin-Healey Sprite)—offering options with varying price points and quality, while noting legal/IP considerations and tariffs with cross-border orders; the growing aftermarket market acts as a “cheat code” for tackling hard-to-find parts.
