1929 Gazelle Kit
God why is it always the shittiest 80s cars that people use to build these kits? It's always either a VW Bug, Fiero, or a Chevette in this case.
Also, excellent work finding the exact car OP asked about.
If they could afford a decent car to build with, they wouldn't have to build in the first place.
Nah these are typically kits for cars that are unobtanium unless you have millions of dollars to spend. There are probably very few real examples of these big 1920s vehicles left in existence and replacement parts would probably need to be custom made for them. There's certainly a wide gap between a Chevette and a $2 million dollar concours car, yet nothing in between in this market.
