recreating a rare design

I recently discovered the contempo cantara gt, now I know the likeliness of actually finding one is slim to none so what I want to know is where would I go to get parts to recreate or clone it?

Anybody know where I could go to get the panels to recreate it?

Your best bet is to find a parts car...there was one on here a few months back, moron wanted something like $25k for it though, and it was just that (a parts car that looked like it wasn't worth more than $4-500).

Re: recreating a rare design

well if it is an actual contempo cantara gt it is exceptionally rare, there were only 50 contempo cantara's made out of those 50 only 4 were gt's.

But you know any sites? I have been searching for parts for it on craigslist and ebay but haven't found anything.

I have to agree. That car is rare, but ugly as hell IMO. Do what you want, but IF you find a parts car and or parts you are going to have so much money is this it's not even going to be funny when you could spend a ton less and do a very sweet normal Camaro. If you do pull this off please post pix.

Re: recreating a rare design

well, I am going the recreation route rather than the clone route so I can customize the looks a bit further. Bigger wheels and tires, different hood, tuned engine things of that sort.
