Personally, I don't see what difference it makes if someone who can't afford the real thing goes to the trouble to build a "tribute" car or clone as accurately as possible. Yes, the parts are getting harder to find, but nobody has exclusive rights to them. This is a hobby to a lot of people and to some, restoring a tribute car as accurately as possible is the closest they will come to owning the real thing. If I were building a COPO clone, I would go with the CE engine over the big car engine.
