RE: [Chevelle-list] 69 Camaro Convertible Body Shells Now Available!

[John Nasta]

Last I heard, they were going to try to keep it somewhere around $10k (plus delivery). Hot Rod Magazine did an article many months ago wherein they said that the bodies would sell for about $10k. The guys at DII were not exactly happy about Hot Rod announcing that price. What I heard was that they originally planned to sell the bodies with the doors, trunk lid, and convertible top frame attached, but in order to try to hit the price point of $10k that Hot Rod claimed, they decided they had to sell just the shell ala carte, so to speak, and all of the doors, etc. separately. That was before this last negotiation w/ the General, and it’s reasonable to assume that the cost of obtaining the licensing may have been added directly to the cost of the bodies. GM gets 10% of the wholesale value, so I would not be surprised if they were to go for more like $11k or $12k to offset the direct cost of the license as well as to defray the expenses incurred in the pursuit of the agreement.   John Nasta       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Dan McIntosh Sent: Saturday, June 18, 2005 11:42 AM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 69 Camaro Convertible Body Shells Now Available!   What does something like that cost?   Dan McIntosh 1963 Impala SS Convertible "HOP IT TILL IT BREAKS" Street Metal Fabrications http://www.lowriderimpala.com ----- Original Message ----- From: John Nasta To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Saturday, June 18, 2005 11:39 AM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] 69 Camaro Convertible Body Shells Now Available!   They are doing all the unibody cars first. It will be a long time (if ever) for a complete Chevelle body.

I talked with him on the power tour, and he is just about done licensing the mustang, but he said the mopar is on the back burner for awhile. He is a really nice guy, Him and his son did the whole power tour just like my wife and I.
