IIRC there are still new TA1 chassis being built by Tony Ave and some others. So while the designs might be old, the cars aren't necessarily. Also tubeframe cars don't age quite in the same way that unibodies do, and there still seems to be a good number of them.

How about putting a TA1 engine into a TA2 chassis, though? Aren't the TA2 engines ridiculously understressed?
