There are two big hurdles to overcome with these "complete" body reproductions: 1) Licensing with the original manufacturer; 2) Acquiring a proper VIN for the completed vehicle.

Several years ago, I visited Texas Trans Am to discuss restoration of my 1970. The shop was just getting into producing 1st gen Camaro shells. In order to pass those two hurdles, the customer was responsible for purchasing the Taiwanese sourced body parts and securing the VIN from a scrapped Camaro of the same model year. Texas Trans Am built the welding jigs to assemble the body for the customer. So a completed "shell" was never sold. Just the parts and welding labor separately.
