No, my point was that you can absolutely have a replica if that's what you want. The definition of replica is an exact copy. And no, it's not the original, but there again, that's not the definition of *replica*. There are absolutely exact copies out there of factory 60's Cobras. They don't have viper or Chevy engines.

If that's what you want then that's fine. If you want something else then that's fine too, but by definition, it's not a replica.
