I think they are pretty cool, especially the Camaro bodies. But as everyone else mentioned it would only be worth it if: A.you could register it as a normal chevelle and not get stuck with smog law, etc. B. it was financially smart to buy one of those as opposed patching up an original.
I would imagine the custom build guys would like these for those customers that say "here's x dollars I want a 69 BBC Camaro" or whatever. Might make sense for them and cut down on man hrs. and total project time. Of course I'm just speculating
