https://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/09/toyota-gt86-comes-in-stripped-down-rc-flavor-in-japan/ This is a very old article about it but i was wondering if this kind of thing still existed and was available stateside? For those that don't know what a car-in-white is, it's typically a non-vin numbered car or chassis for motorsports. I've heard rumor theres a middle ground that are vinned but basically driving chassis on donuts
I don't believe so, not from Subaru anyway. When I worked at a Subaru dealer, we had a customer ask about that and we did some digging and came up empty handed. Rally cars have to have a VIN, so a good portion of their potential market would need a largely complete car.
It's a shame no one makes a stripped out rwd or awd sportscar for under $20k. Hell even if the 4 cyl supra gr came in a stripped out version i would be down. Probably too niche or too low of margins for that i'm guessing
Yea, it's been a long time since there was a market for cars without options. Even "work trucks" are a far cry from the old C1500 W/T of the '90s.
The correct term is "body in white" and its usually just the chassis. After 2 seconds googling I found this from 2009 so it at least was a thing you could buy from GM Performance Parts. https://www.gmignitionupdate.com/me...us/en/2009/Dec/1210_GMPP_PRI/GMPP_Camaro.html I have seen some race cars for sale on Bring A Trailer that started out as a body in white. One I remember was an IS350 that was fully seam welded and turned into a race car with wide body and fully custom suspension and whatnot and I don't think it had a VIN.
