I'm feeling a bit like I'm walking a tightrope here. If the shell is truly old, it will shatter no matter what. I have some Aurora HO cars that were made in 1962 that aren't brittle yet, though. I have an AMT T-Bird that will break if I fart in its general direction. If it was made recently enough to have a high impact feature to the formula, it will take a long time for it to get brittle. As long as you don't get it too hot, you can dribble hot glue in the corners of a body to reinforce it, but some plastics get soft at lower temps, so look out. So, what's the body?
