I just saw this great article on http://www.chevyhiperformance.com - I searched here but do not see that this was already posted
It shows how you can take the current reproduction body panels for a first gen Camaro and mate it with a 4th Gen Camaro chassis to have one hell of a nice street car.

Excerpt:
Take one ’02 LS1-powered Camaro and one ’69 Camaro complete outer sheetmetal kit from Goodmark Industries, assemble them carefully together, and what do you have? A hybrid supercar with total fourth-gen performance underneath and ’69 Camaro looks up top. This cool idea started when the folks at Retro Rides in Spanish Fork, Utah, were bench racing about how much amazing technology the fourth-gen F-body has. The incredible handling, precise steering, superior antilock brake system, quick acceleration, and interior comfort all surpass that of older Camaros. But admittedly, the classic style of a first-gen Camaro was missing from the later-model cars.
