[COPO]

I suppose publising the VIN's is likely the most foolproof way to stop the flow of fakes. The ZL-1's are pretty well covered as the entire VIN's are out there, though there is at least one car that was a complete rebody. On the COPO Connection website, many of the other Supercar VIN's are shown. I'd like to see that information incorporated into some pages on this site as the COPO site is rarely updated. The COPO 9561's are more problematic because no one even knows the number built let alone the VIN's. The Motion VIN's, we've discussed those a number of times and everyone knows the issue there.

I don't see a problem with a "tribute car" ie: replica, clone. I would add, to do one right, will often cost close to the same $$'s as a real one for certain models. Case in point a really nice '70 Yenko Duece replica was available for $14,000, yet the owner spent over $30K to build it. The flip side is because these cars are rare and expensive they aren't often seen in public which sometimes adds to the mystique and the wow factor when they are on display at events like the Supercar Reunion.
