This paper focuses on production of small series of functional parts for old timers, for which it is very difficult and in some cases impossible to find spare parts. Specifically, the paper presents the possibilities of designing and making authentic parts with special requirements of the owner or the collector of old timers. As a result of this study, a small series of authentic parts and replicas based on the existing functional parts of the oldtimers was designed and fabricated. The results of experimental studies have highlighted the advantages of production that is based on the integration of technology of material extrusion and vacuum casting, especially for small series of complex and specific products.
