That gets back to my underlying premise....
Do you want a kit car or do you want a replica?
Most guys at a car show want to see a replica. They want to walk up, see a 427 side oiler or a 289. Seeing something else reminds them of a Fiero with a body kit made to look like a Ferrari, or a VW made to look like a Porsche 356.
Kit cars have less of a presence, reputation, and value. |
