I was into racing Nitro RC cars for a couple of years. These were by no means toys and I had between the 2 cars and 2 monster trucks a couple of thousand dollars in these. They just make the Lexan bodies for these and I just found a cool looking 67 Vette that I would have bought if it was available a few years ago. These bodies would get trashed pretty quickly and the monster trucks I could go through them in a few weeks. Another expensive hobby.

if you can find a cad/3d file of a c3 body, you can have it 3d printed then press up a few molds.... easy...

When I was a kid I had one made way back when that was controlled by vacuum hoses. The comapny was Eldon who made it. I have the body only now, I think it was a 1/12th scale 68 coupe as I recall.
