Allen, I disagree, and this is MY silly analogy of why....

The day Elvis Presley (or pick your favorite celeb) was born, there were 100 other newborns just like him born at the same hospital and cared for by the same people... that doesn't make every kid born in the hospital that day an Elvis Presley... just like it doesn't make every Camaro body that rolled off the line at Norwood "the same" as one that became a COPO or Yenko, Motion, etc...the fact they all originated in the same place doesn't mean jack squat... I don't buy into this idea that it doesn't matter what body is behind the VIN and trim tags... that's as important as the driveline IMO...maybe more so. If I were to buy into your way of thinking, then every clone car, 6 cylinder, or 307 powerglide car out there is one set of tags away from becoming a "real" COPO or Yenko supercar... It doesn't work that way... A COPO might have had 7 engines and 6 transmissions in it over its "lifetime", but its still a COPO or a Yenko... but it doesn't matter how many L72's you've stuffed between the fenders of a car that was originally a 6 cylinder, its never gonna be a supercar. And thats not to say a non-supercar isn't fun, fast, or enjoyable to own and enjoy... It just is NOT a supercar and never will be. I don't care if you rebody a supercar with non-supercar body that was originally painted in the same color, with the same interior color and trim level, built on the same day by the same guys, one car down the line... its still not the right thing to do.You can't rebody a supercar without losing the car's soul. I'd take a real car with zero original drivetrain over a fake car with every mechanical part added from a real one.
