Fake '68 Formula-S on Ebay!!!
People would pay alot of money for all of this psycho analysis bull$%*! I'm not offended by a clone, or confused, I just dont like being deceived & lied to. Apparently some people dont mind.
Exactly.
Engine swaps, changing the color, customizing, etc. is all part of hot rodding or the car hobby. I have been around cars since I was born being my dad was a tech director for NHRA. I have been around customs and have been around the real mccoys and I appreciate the level of dedication that both types of car owner put in their cars. Anyone that makes there car look like a factory rare car is only trying to do one thing, make it look like a factory rare car, period. If they didn't then they would make them look like something else.
Chuckbizkits, I called the guy that walks up to the factory car and say's his buddy has one when it is a fake a dork. Not the guy that owns the fake. Might want to re-read before making comments. The problem is not in the fakes directly it is in the general public that don't know the difference.
One thing is for sure, guys like me that have owned or do own the originals don't care for the fakes and the guys that have owned a clone or would own one think they are OK. You will never, ever convince me that there is a place for them.
Even if the person selling the fake states it is a clone they still recieve more money for it because it looks like the real one. So they are riding one the shirt tails of the guys that have the real ones.
I bought a '72 Scamp for my wife but she likes the look of the '70 Dart Swinger more so I am in the process of putting on a '70 Dart nose so it will look like one. She also wants the twin scoops and I am reluctant unless you could get them also with a 318 and not just the 340 because I don't want to make a Swinger 340 fake because to me it is disrespectful to the guys that own Swinger 340's.
