I'm just curious.........

The parts manual lists parts 914.501.003.11 & 914.501.004.11 as "blank body, primed, sound-proofed & sealed".

I recognize that these parts would long ago be NLA, but has anyone every hears of such a part being ordered? Maybe to build a racer?

Yes, there were real. I know of one such being ordered to rebody a six way back when. The numbers on it are truely different, both the fender 'VIN' and the trunk 'Chassis #' make no sense compared to every other number I know of.

What complicates things for that particular car is that the original body was not destroyed as it was supposed to be. Years later it was resurrected as a /4, then reconverted to a six. So now there are two bodies around with the 'same VIN'.
