Interesting "old" aluminum recreation

[PanameraPat]

Sorry. I don't think he meant to imply a Peoples choice award for "all of Pebble beach" type award. Clearly there is no way any replica would win anything like that. More like among a small group of Cobra's or maybe even just replica's type thing. Or some sub group or club that was there type thing. Probably my miss communication more than his to me.

I appreciate the feedback and make no mistake, I am as skeptical as everyone else here. For good reason. Mainly looking for things beyond "frame correctness", aluminum thickness and quality of fit, correct looking parts, etc. to help me identify how good (or how crappy) of a replica it actually is when I see it.

I'm enough of a car guy to quickly recognize obvious replica's, fiberglass bodies, newer looking knock-off's, wrong shifters/transmissions and the likes. I just don't know if I am qualified to really determine the difference between a "good looking aluminum replica" and a very good recreation. And tougher yet, put a value to it based on how accurate it turns out to be (one can only hope).

Maybe it will be a quick visit and quick disappointment. Happens. But the seller has a pretty interesting history with some pretty interesting cars, so worth looking in the rabbit hole to see what bites ya......
