I watched for a little while at the car show on the weekend people reactions as its not the most recognisable car per say. Especially as it has no ford or chev or Daytona logo's anywhere so it is hard to know what you're looking at.
Most would stumble upon it, look at the front bemused, then with bewildered look walk to the rear, then still not happy look inside to see the small Brocky dedication plate on the dash. Ohhhhh this is the car Brocky was killed in...yadda yadda.

Most leaving with a shaking head saying that it was poor handling car. No amount of chatting was going to change their views. I just smile and be happy Im fortunate enough to own it. Car shows ey!

At least I didn't hear anyone call it a replica. LOL

Hey Spook, did I interpret that correctly as you now own the Peter Brock Coupe? or are you referring to the similarity in the Daytona kit.
Cheers
