I think that is the key thing about FFR. They don't build their own cars and never will.
So the inconsistency argument is valid as mentioned above. Some spectacular, others I would be ashamed to say are from the same company as mine. ( FFR 4883 here.)

I'm sort of in the middle. Good build, nothing fancy but nothing like the original. Carbed, but using modern I-Squared electrical. Dual roll bars just make sense. Never liked the old fashioned Smith gauges so went AutoMeter. Highback seats because that made sense too.

I really am a refelection of the 'don't care for my ride to be exact. ' It's first and foremost a car built along the same premise as Carroll Shelby. A race car for the streets because of the homologation rules back in the 60's; a "gentler" bull.

But I really do admire those that have replicated the original. I have no gripes at all with that. And those around in NorCal don't really baby their SPF's either and that's a good thing. The cars were meant to be driven and driven hard.

As far as resale, I could care less to be honest. At the end of my driving life, I'll sell it for probably what I built it for (free labor.) I really did enjoy the building experience and learned to be an electrician, plumber and better mechanic after in the process and that is priceless.
