Many manufacturers sell "motorsport" versions of their cars to race teams. It's called a "body in white". For example:
$3500 for a Civic
$7000 for a Camaro
I assumed he just meant a more focused version based on the examples he provided. If he meant BIW cars then yeah, the examples were bad choices.
