i feel like this will bring the values of the cars either up because an original body will be rare or bring it down because there will be more on the road.

I would have to go with 1st Gen.

I would want to recreate a power house like the one in Tokyo Drift. Sleeper for sure!

Lou the company is called Auto Metal Direct or AMD. They are located in Georgia and make lots of Mopar parts that have not been available for a long time. It would not surprise me if they start offering repop bodies for the 68 thru 70 Mopar B-Body cars. That would be the Charger, Roadrunner, Superbee, Coronet, Satellite, Daytona, and Superbee. I am waiting on them to offer rear quarters for my 74 Charger Rallye.
I would like to see Dynacorn offer the 64-66 Ford Mustang Fastback to complete the 60's Mustang offerings.
As far as which Monte Carlo would I like to see repoped? I think the first gen would make sense because Dynacorn is already doing the 70 Chevelle and I think that some of the panels are the same. The first gen Monte's are becoming difficult to find. The second gen would make sense because they suffered severe rust issues but I am not certain there is enough of a demand for it to be profitable. The fourth gen Monte's are still very common so I don't see the need for it yet. I like the Monte but not enough to build one from a kit.

So let me see if I have this right?

Furd is now reproducing the 1st gen Rustang bodies? OR.... they're just contracting with the company that already made the 1st gen Rustang bodies?

Cause these have been out for a few years now.

PS. It would save me A TON of work by buying one of the '57 Chevy 2-door Hardtop bodies. And priced at about $12,000 they aren't too far out of my financial reach. Only $11,995. But think of the work it would save me not just in time, but in dollars as well.
