Hmmm... according to that line of thinking, any car with a VIN of 001 is a real/original whatever, but anything with a later VIN is a replica, built on the same assembly line minutes after car #001. You said this wasn't rocket science, but let's get real.

The simple fact is that anything built to replicate something from years gone by is, well, a replica. Much as I like the new line of CSX cars, they are NOT a "1965 427 Cobra S/C." They are a replica of a 1965 427 Cobra S/C. Are they a genuine Shelby Cobra? Of course.

Is this really tough to grasp?
