Just as an aside, the term "Tupperware car" in reference to a fibreglas replica, is not new. It's been used in street rod circles for many years. And people with fiberglas street rods are not as free from derision as many of you believe. The void between snobs and enthusiasts is wide and probably everlasting. Not unlike that between hardcore restoration types and rodders/modifiers. There can be rational sounding justifications spouted by both, but in the end I don't understand why we can't accept each other's enthusiasm as it is. (but then again, I can in no way understand that guy who made the multi hued corvette that was posted a couple weeks ago!).
As for replicas selling for more than "originals", it happens in the hot rod world with some regularity. Special cars with high levels of craftsmanship and innovative (while tasteful) design elements command premium prices. Not unlike our Cobra replica world, ne: ERA vs CMC.
