Hi Techs are generally a very well done replica, accurate to original specs. BUT not all of them are, like many replicas they were produced in a wide range of specs so you have to consider each car on an individual basis. While SOME, very few, were alloy most were not and glass cars did not contain any substantial alloy body pieces. Some have a solid rear axle, typically a Ford 9". While certainly strong it's hardly period correct. Many, if not most, had a 427 side oiler, which is very cool. Some had 'other engines', a substantial penalty for a car with a reputation for generally being 'accurate'. With an engine other than a side oiler and a 9" Ford rear end and a glass body that should make for a very attractive price. "Parts" shouldn't be anymore difficult to obtain than for most other older replicas.

I don't know all the specs for the car your looking at, glass or alloy, IRS or live axle. It does have a 460, which would be a deal killer for me, UNLESS it was indeed a great price. Hi Techs LOOK right and thats a huge plus factor for the car's in general.
