With either schematics(I don't believe that's spelled correctly…) or some good HD photos with something for a clear scale reference, I'm sure someone could do a damn fine 3D print of it. Just how much of a "model" it would be, I'm not sure.
It could most definitely be printed as 4 pcs, lower front, lower rear, upper front, upper rear with an interior sandwiched.
The suspension, engine/trans/drive separate. Wheels/tires. That int could be either printed as 2 parts and include the seats and some of the drivers compartment or be 2 pcs of floor and all parts individual.
I'm not much of a car guy, just an occasional kit, so I'm out of my league on this. For me, this would be more about the paint, esp with the near blackout windows. And while I'm not a big fan of joining major 3D assemblies together, my fellow ship modelers are doing it regularly(some with more success then others, it seems to be dictated by the quality of the manufacturer…). And the lower the parts count, the lower the cost…
Just an idea from a simpleton hack of a modeler who's been in a rut and trying to find his "mojo" again…

if done in 1/24 scale can use the dashboard and drivers seat from the volvo truck kit as dashboard in these 3700 are from the truck could also use the same wheels
