Ah, FordRacer.......
You need to get one of these fakes. Pretty much doesn't matter what make; any will do, provided you pick one without cup holders and seat heaters. In fact, the less options (no heaters, radios, etc.) the better - closer to the originals, and will provide you with a better experience.
To state they have no soul is.....wrong. They do, and can show you very well that - although perhaps not the same as an original - they embrace their own persona and are remarkably capable on their own.
I was in an original in 1967; a small block car. I remember it, admittedly with a heavy cloud of awe - having my own fake now, also small block powered, reminds me of that ride every time I turn the key. I have a good friend who owns a JBL and that car provides an intensity all its' own.
Keep the faith - fakes they may well be, but their fidelity to an original is much, much closer than you think.....and to say they are soulless is simply not true.
