Perhaps, but when you have to cover costs associated with prototyping, making moulds and tooling, maybe its not too bad. At this time early a-bodies have not quite caught up to other models in popularity, as that changes costs might come down. In the meantime I guess we need to decide which we prefer: leaking windows and possible rust problems, or a nice new rubber. My current car (1964 Dart GT) is my first American car, I'm more experienced with Australian Valiant models, so I was pretty excited to read a catalogue and be able to buy whatever I needed off the rack, can't do that for the Australian cars!
