Print out any emails where they agreed to MSRP and confirmation that they took your deposit. Anything where they say, we’re going to order this specific Camaro. Order #xyz123 and will sell it to you for $xx,xxx. That qualifies as a legally binding contract. Not as strong as a fully signed and executed contract in proper legalese, but still binding on both parties, particularly since you made a deposit.

They “offered” your build at MSRP, you provided a deposit as “consideration” for that offer. Tell them to honor the agreement or you will file in small claims court. A legal contract, even when only verbal, must include and “offer” and “consideration”, which sounds like is satisfied in your case. Pay for an hour with a contract law attorney if you need to, to verify any TX Law concerns, but you are in a strong position here.
