Is There Value in Making a 'Clone'.

I'm a huge fan of clone cars.....IMO, if I can "create" an exact replica of what a Formula S Barracuda is....(with all Mopar parts from a donor) and with a "lower class" body as a starting point (which, many times, is much easier to find a "granny-clean" body...and waaaay cheaper to boot)....that is what I really respect and appreciate....I tell people "you go worship your fender tag....I'll worship the car as a whole for what it is, for what it was designed to be".....

Besides, if it weren't for me building and driving clones.....I wouldn't HAVE a hot Mopar, 'cuz I sure wouldn't be able to pay for the real deal. Oh and another thing.....I also hafta laugh when I see people who would rather drive a numbers-matching "real" Formula S or GTS car.....which,...may have had both quarter panels changed, it's trunk pan, floors, and...basically it's whole platform "infested" with the tin worm.....compared to EVER driving a cloned version of a Formula S or GTS......I just have to chuckle when I see those people "look down" on clone cars.

Not that I am against bringing cars back from the dead, of course not......just....hey, it's all good, clones or real deal.
