kits

If 'Kit Car Magazine ' is still in print you might want to track down a copy 'n see what remains in the market place.
After the first Arab Oil Embargo of 1973,outfits like Fibre Fab,and later,Kelmark Gt entered the market offering body replacement kits to fit air-cooled VW chassis's.
I never see any driving around.Sometime I see derelict unfinished kit cars at auto swap meets.They're a pariah to most attendees.
It would be a brave soul or fool to believe that they could satsify such a fickle consumer market,who's desires change with yearly with the Paris fashion market.
And since all modern autos are of uni-body construction,you can't 'un-bolt' their bodies and put something else on there.
