I wouldn't consider any COPO clone a true clone if it didn't have an original BE rear. That's a huge part of the COPO package so if you're truly building a clone, do it right! Same with the Yenko clones. I would like to see a correct 427, BE rear, sway bar and all the other necessary COPO pieces. A big block with a 12 bolt rear does not make a car a clone in my view.

Sure, Then there would be b*tching that the cloners are using up all the correct pieces for people restoring real cars...Why do you need a true BE rear in a clone car? If a guy is building a clone and wants to spend the cake for a real BE out of a COPO, fine, I'm cool with that... but heck, half the REAL cars don't have "true" BE rears in them, as I've personally seen more than one obvious re-stamp. The car is nice, its done very well, and way better than most clones, heck, lets face it, its done way better than alot of real cars... give some credit where credit is due. If you don't like clones, thats fine, but saying its not a "good" clone because it doesnt have a correctly dated BE rear is a little rediculous IMO. What IS a "True Clone" anyhow?
