Oh man, it doesn't get any better than this. So, if you have a fake of your fake, does that make your car the real one?

By the way, the real one is truly superb - an accomplished fauxbra if I ever saw one.

I really must protest here as I claim all legal rights to the term "Fauxbra"™for my Healey-Ford swap. Go ahead, Google "Fauxbra" and see the first entry that comes up: https://www.google.com/search?q=faux...x-a&channel=sb In the best fakey-doo Shelby tradition I shall be filing a trade dress action against all who continue to use the term "Fauxbra" ™ without prior approval and compensation. (All donations go directly to my "charitable foundation")

If you want to get away with the fakery, you gotta spell it right:



(I'm a real jerk about this. "Raydot" drives me right up the wall along with "Sterling" Moss.)

Some beautiful fakery in this highly entertaining thread. There's probably some term to describe this in the antiques world when a fake becomes easily recognizable because it is so much better than the original.

I feel the same way about "Carrrolll" Shelby.

Reminds me of the "MoFoCo" marked tail light lenses I bought for this car once... there's a fine line between insolence and irreverence.

... and the way you will be able to tell (from pictures) the fake fake apart from the real fake is the fake fake is missing the gas cap shield the real fake has, utter genius

My whole car looks a bit moldy... I knew I should have picked something other than green.

Sheesh Pete, you even replicated your fancy dash timers?
