If you had a '68 plymouth B-Body or Charger...Yup. As far as a Coronet, not at this time.

The best that you can hope for is the lower fender patch panels.
Before AMD started making fenders for the E body Challenger, I asked a few suppliers about what fenders were being considered for reproduction. The consensus was that it took about $200,000 to reverse engineer and tool up for a SINGLE fender.
A company has to look at how many possible copies can be sold to determine if it makes financial sense. Take the amount of the models of these cars made, how many still remain and then pare it down further to how many need fenders. To just break even on the Challenger fenders, they had to sell 450 at $450 each. That is just one side!
