They do need to be shortened slighty, but they will outlast any number of aluminum ones.
And sadly, no those bodies are no longer available unless you find someone hoarding a stash. They don't have the down force of a modern AMR, but I have always thought part of the reason for the decline in 1/12th scale was that the cars no longer bear much resemblance to the real thing. The older bodies weren't scale but they were a lot closer than what we run today. Of course many required a separate wing which would not even be legal today. Stupid rule.
