Just my opinion. </div></div>

I would agree with this. I love clones. Nothing at all wrong with building a super sport or whatever out of a base model. However, I think a line is crossed when the tags get changed. While the original builder / owner may never represent the car as something it is not, who know what kind of fraud will occur 20 years from now when the car changes hands a few times.

Clone away, but leave the cowl tag as delivered by GM. JMO.

Beautiful car, by the way. You did an amazing job on it! </div></div>

X2 -- some of us cannot afford the &quot;real thing&quot; and build a clone/tribute type vehicle ... the line is crossed when it is passed off as the &quot;real deal&quot; to an unsuspecting buyer. TAZ</div></div>

This is an interesting thread...I agree 100% with TAZ's comment above. I suppose that cloning is a form of flattery in one respect. However, the downstream effect for some quote: 'unsuspecting buyer' isn't going to be pretty.

For those of us that do have an original 1966 L72 Biscayne (or other rare vehicle), I can only hope that when the time comes for me to sell my car it is appreciated for what it really is. Time will tell....
