Apart from the paint combination how is this a shelby replica?

[ponyride]

I was wondering the same thing myself. And I couldn't understand how it's a "piece of history". I thought I was seriously misunderstanding something.

95k thats wow alright but they are talking the 65 fastback here guys not that 64 coupe .

They refer to it as a 'tribute' not replica or clone.

so what is a tribute ,i thought it was a clone,copy , a look a like .I know a clown that bought a 69 mach 1 tribute, and paid big money because the guy that sold it to him said it was a very rare model a tribute ,he on sold it and told the new owner the same story, and got be money for it .

more aesthetics in my opinion is a tribute - not so much to clone or replicate every spec of the said original car.

[StephenSLR]

From what I've read on forums lately there's many interpretations of tribute, clone and replica.

In my view a tribute is 'in honour' of something and doesn't have to be exact.  My car was listed as a tribute, it has racing stripes like a GT350 has but body and stripe colours are different.

Classic speed's car has the same paint scheme as an original but mechanicals and interior are different so it's not exact.

Replica and clone are identical copies that don't share the same VIN or engine numbers as the real thing.

In the US there are companies that will re-stamp engine and part numbers so your classic can score you more points at shows but that borders on it being a 'fake' in my opinion.

A 'fake' is what we'd refer to as a 'number job' and illegal.

I thought a tribute was an act or like paying tribute to someone ,not a mustang clone ,copy ,replica etc .Maybe i should buy one of these tributes they pull big money and people pay big for them .

[StephenSLR]

Maybe i should buy one of these tributes they pull big money and people pay big for them.

When people see the word tribute, replica or clone they know it's not the real deal so they'd be foolish to pay the price of an original.

If it's an outstanding tribute/replica/clone, it could very well deserve big money.

I'd say 66HERTZ could get good money for his replica, nowhere near the price of an original of course.

+1.
There are many cars for sale on this forum and others that I visit, that do not get anywhere the money that this "tribute" is at the moment. Not saying that the money hasn't been spent on this car but as wee all do know it cost alot of money to restore a car which you sometimes don't get back.

[StephenSLR]

Agreed.

Also, keep in mind many Mustangs for sale are not priced anywhere near what Classic Speed Mustangs go for either.

Do you mean Classic speed cars are more expensive?

lol, yeah.

I guess the difference is you're buying from a company that built the car and they supply some form of warranty, unlike a 2nd hand car from a private sale.

plenty of threads with unhappy people who would claim otherwise......

Just came across this thread.
Clones, reproductions, tributes, re-creations or whatever you want (each has come to represent a variation on the overall theme), at the end of the day they are a wannabe copy of the real thing.
I would describe that car as more of a resto-mod seeing it has rack & pinion, coil overs, a/c, Tremec 5 speed, modern sound system, MSD,  347 crate, and Wilwood 4 wheel discs (Wilwoods are not accepted by ADR). Certainly not part of any Shelby history.

I don't care what they call them if it's not real it a faker.
