With the lift painted the same color as the body, it looks like a plastic model that you twist and undo from the packaging.

Well I think Dynacorn, I am assuming they are the ones putting this together since it is on their site for them to make 67 FB's, had been charging $10 or $12K for their Camaro's. My jury is still out on how I feel about the availability of these.

The one I saw earlier, was less doors, trunk and front end. I am wondering if it will be shipped as a complete unit or what?

I hope the fit of the panels is better than the Camaro they had in their booth last year at SEMA. I would have been embarrassed to display it with trunk gaps ranging from 3/16" on the edge/middle to 5/16"+++ in the corners of the trunk. The doors weren't any better.
Regardless, this is the dawn of a new era in Mustanging.

It is the prototype of the Dynacorn '67 fastback unibody in their booth at SEMA. I spoke with them at length about it and here's the scoop:
That is the first one. They got permission from Ford to display it publicly at SEMA but don't have the royalty agreement worked out yet. They are already a Ford licensed reproduction manufacturer for the individual sheet metal pieces that make up the unibody, so it won't be a huge leap to clear the whole thing. It's just a matter of negotiating the royalty per unit.
They hope to have everything sorted out by the Hot Rod & Restoration trade show in Indy in the spring so they can have it in the new product showcase there.
Yes, the Camaros are ~$13k, but they only go to the firewall, so the Mustang will probably be about $15k.
I don't know about the VIN issue. That thing about a 2007 1967 small production car or whatever is news to me. What I would do is buy the worst basket-case fastback I could find and transfer the numbers. That way you'd have the gazillion little brackets and stuff you'd kill yourself trying to find anyway.
The gaps weren't great, but it was a prototype after all. I wouldn't expect anything near perfection though. This is an entire unibody made from repop pieces, and I'm sure your body shop will have to spend considerable time making everything right.

It doesn't come with a title. What it will come with is a serial number and a MSO certificate. The production gaps will be right at about ¼ inch all around and the shell itself will require very little final prep for finishing. As I was in our booth last SEMA show (05), I saw no one measuring the gaps on the deck lid, or the doors because there were no doors or deck lids attached to the coupe body shell we had there. The convertible last year was assembled by Year One purposely not going out of their way to adjust gaps in the doors or deck lids. As to the licensing issues with FORD, it is not a matter of percentage of royalties, although that certainly is a concern, it is a matter more of where to license it with-in FORD. We have, as of this date, been mostly approved for licensing. Any concerns about quality of fit, finish or sheet metal can certainly be addressed to my office at Dynacorn. Just ask for Jim.

Hi Jim-
Thanks for posting here. It's always good to get the story straight from the horse's mouth.
I'm looking forward to availability of the fastbacks!

Here's a link to the Camaro being discussed.

If it's going to be done it should be done right.

No, we are not part of the 1957 Chevy project as Tri-5 cars are not our market. As for the comment about another chinese muscle car...Virtually all of the Camaro body shells sold, that weren't damaged in shipping, have been built into cars and there have been no issues with either quality or workmanship.
