Hi everyone,
I think this is a stupid question, but I thought I just put it out there to see what the public had to say.
Are there any Speed 12 fiberglass bodies available for purchase and could the molds ever be found and reproduced.

I have this crazy idea of building my own speed 12.
Please tell me your thoughts.

The original speed 12 moulds are gone. Sorry bud.
Even if you tried to copy the look, it would be a very hard feat, the windscreen was a one-off, the chassis of the original speed 12 was a one off, last I heard, the old templates were scrapped, taken.

Wheeler had a habit of stockpiling in the backyard, Nikolai believes in getting shot of everything for any penny he can scrape...

I'd say get a Viper RT/10 or something similar from a scrapyard, and then model the changes on her, you'd get a close-enough look.... but the sheer size and presence of the original speed 12 is not an easy copy.... good-luck!

How about something like the Typhon esque copy that is almost completed?Take a perfect condition cerb, take off body, drill and dip the chassis, replace rear of car with T350 back end and front of car with Tuscan front end.......

Thanks guys, I had a feeling that the old molds would have probably been destroyed or recycled.
