That gets back to my underlying premise....

Do you want a kit car or do you want a replica?

Most guys at a car show want to see a replica. They want to walk up, see a 427 side oiler or a 289. Seeing something else reminds them of a Fiero with a body kit made to look like a Ferrari, or a VW made to look like a Porsche 356.

Kit cars have less of a presence, reputation, and value.
