Re: Motion modified '66 Chevelle
Boy, talk about prying the scab off of a wound.
You can clone anything you want and little can be done about it. Carroll Shelby did go to court over use of the Cobra name on all the kit cars but he couldn't really stop the kit companies. I think they might have to pay royalties but they can still sell Cobra kits.
I have heard that Mr. Rosen has a copyright on his paint schemes and the Motion name but you can clone one all day long, just don't call it a "Motion" car. And, in my humble opinion, there's nothing wrong with clones as long as you don't lie about it being a "real" car. I've been VERY tempted to clone my '67 Camaro SS 396 into a B-M car by putting a Stinger hood onit and 427 cross-flag emblems, etc., etc. Yes, there will be guys who get apoplectic over a clone car but who cares as long as you're up front about it. Oh, and accuracy helps. Don't put '69 Yenko stripes on a '67-'68 Camaro, okay?
