If you have enough money, can you have a new classic car built? Like can I pay to have ford build me a 1970 Mustang?
Lets say I don't want to buy an old car and restore it, I want a 1970 but straight off the factory line. Can you have a car built with the old style frame, engine, trans, etc?
No way. The cars bodies are pressed from moulds, and a lot of the moulds are exported to other countries after the western car makers have finished the models. And that was about 20 years ago. I imagine the importers of the car moulds would have designed their own cars by now (I'm talking about places like India etc). The only way you could do it is by creating your own car factory.
No, you can't pay Ford or any other manufacturer to build a classic car for you because they do not have the facility, tooling or parts anymore. It also wouldn't meet Federal safety requirements for manufacturer-produced automobiles, and they wouldn't waste their time or resources., There are small independent shops that can build one-off replica cars if you could afford it but any logical and intelligent would just get an original one restored frame-up to factory specs.
No. When new cars are built, they have to adhere to current regulations regardless of how they look.
No you have to find an individual person who can do it but it would cost more than a used one.
Mexico might do it, but not Ford.
They do not have the body press and other stuff to build a 1970 Mustang at the assembly plant. Those are done away with every model change. You can get all aftermarket, or most OEM parts, but the Ford assembly plant will not put it together for you. If you want to pay a mechanic $100/Hr to build you a car, it will cost you a hell of a lot more than a Mustang cost back in 1970.

Here in the uk you can buy a brand new jaguar. Which is an exact replica of a 1960 mk2 the body .engine and gearbox look identical. But the exhaust .brakes etc are upgraded to modern spec… To look at its exactly the same. But thats not made by the manufacturer… Its a specialist company… And i'm sure if you wanted a replica mustang there are companies out there who would it
- Why don't car companies remake some of their classic car models if people like them so much? Of course safety is in mind because everyone would freak out if they didn't have a seat belt and air bags in every inch of the car, but why can't some of the companies just remake their best selling car models? Dodge could remake their 1948 Sedan and Ford could remake their 1949 Custom. I could list more but I can't think of any more classics.
