This is not your typical body in white. It is an assembled body structure that is just about as empty as GM's wallet. Who are they kidding?

Could you find the order form on the GM Performance Parts site? If you did could you put up a direct link? I could not find it.

Thanks

Does it have a frame and an interior?

Looks like a good deal to me. $7K for a body structure of a new Camaro or $15K for a body structure of a '67-'69 Camaro made in Tiawan from Dynacor.

No interior, just a body shell. What is a class racer going to do with it?

SS3011,
Thanks!

I found that page but I could not find any order form. Maybe I am expecting something different.

by definition at the factory level, a BIW (body in white) is typically just the body shell...i.e., what would come out of the body shop and head into paint -- before it goes to the chassis and trim lines (where interior parts and all of the undercar/underhood bits would be installed)

Just add about $60,000 and your powertrain, paint, wiring and plumbing and walaahh... you have a new superstocker.
