Tom: right on!!!

Of course not only do the 'stang guys get an easy ride but also a variety of GM's (Replacement Body Shells -A Rust Free Beginning To A Brand New Old Car) and the MGB/MGB-GT (TRF MGB and MGB-GT Parts - Body Sheet Metal--complete Body Shells (The Roadster Factory MGB Glovebox Companion page 119)).

I am sure ther are others but no 911's. :(

You used to be able to order a "Body in white" direct from Porsche.

These guys do Mustangs, Camaros, and now Challenger bodies
1970 Dodge Challenger Replacement Body Shell
I may build some thing like a Pro touring car in the future. Probably a second gen Camaro as I had 2 of them when I was in high school.

After a bit of searching.

CARRERA/ COUPE
BODY ... G91150092131 Price: $21,174.04

If I were a rich man..........................:cool:

^^^ Expensive but how much could you spend restoring a rusty body?

That's almost the same price as a new targa top from the factory. I think the body shell is a better buy!

Only 6 grand more than the Mustang. That's not too bad.

And where would one find/order/purchase this part?
Is it a "recover/refinish" from an old "core"? Or is it a spank'n new built from specs?

Why, from Pelican, of course. Mind you, it's probably not a stock item...

Bookmarked, you know, just in case:D

I remember Grady Clay posting about how he wished Porsche supplied new bodies. I highly doubt that you can actually order one of these and get one.

Says it ships in four business days - the shipping might be a tad high...

I know they do Charger bodies too. How do you vin a car built from this and various parts?

I think they just used the next sequential vin from the original of that particular year( I may be wrong).

Apparently you can also get a 959 body. For $180,000.00:

959 (1986-87) - Body - Primed

That can't be right... :confused:

Someone needs to ask the Pelican staff.

The parts catalog (not the pelican one, someplace....else.....in GA?)

Porsche 911 Body In White Parts

Says: "Bodyshells Can Only Only Available From Current Model Year Available"

You can do it with a 356, but it will cost you a lot more than $15,000.

OK that's fine but how do you explain the 959 body?

Interesting thread. Not really a surprise about complete 911 bumper bodies being available -- for a price -- from Porsche. Especially since they do complete remanufacturing -- for a price. All they have to do is run X number of them off every few years, all galvanized and primed, and stack them up in a warehouse until they're ordered. The 959 body is a little surprising, but then why wouldn't there be a handful of spare bodies still kicking around -- made when it was new?

The catalog is wrong, as the parts they are advertising is a G911 body -- all the body parts advertised are 911 G-series parts -- not the "current model year". Those would start with a 997 not a 911.
