The series was based on a "tribal" ethos when we had both manufacturers building cars in Oz, that has long gone, GM are no longer interested and it is inevitable that the Ford Mustang is going to get the chop in the near future, certainly before 2030 if the legislation in the US does not change. As pointed out by GreenMachine these cars are silhouette not production based so any body could get used if it can be licensed. The driveline is another issue altogether as is the fan base voting with their feet and buying BEV or Hybrid vehicles in increasing numbers with V8 engined vehicles being removed from the market place by all manufacturers. ICE vehicles new car sales are scheduled to stop in Europe mid 1930's or earlier and you can be confident that all manufacturers have begun market planning already to phase out ICE so development has now stopped.
Will manufacturers license extinct body shapes for racing, that is the question. Will exemptions be allowed to continue use of ICE power units, another good question not yet answered or even pondered I would guess. The whole world wide motor racing question seems to have been ignored with only a few notable exceptions such as FE.
