I think we all agree that no one should
sell a clone as a real SS and that everyone should build their cars how they
want them to be. If your going to put some serious money into one of
these cars you should enjoy it and if it takes SS badges or options then put
them on. No matter what type of Chevelle you have they turn heads on the
street any day and no F*** can touch em. -RJ From:

On Behalf Of Chuck Speake I agree with Clint. I’m 58 and
I guess kind of from the old school, and what someone does to their car is
their own business and can or can not be appreciated by everyone for the work
done. But what really tick’s me off is the guys that do it and
attempt or do pass them off as real SS’s. I have a 70 Chuck -----Original Message----- This
is why I think guys, especially ones newer to classic cars, are silly for
trying to buy original numbers matching cars. What exactly are you paying
for when it can be duplicated and faked and be indistinguishable from a
‘real’ SS? What defines a ‘real’ SS anyway?
One that has all the correct SS options, or only one that left the
factory that way? What
makes a ’70 SS454, all original, worth so much more than a ’70 With
that said, when I finally re-do the body and paintwork on my ’70 Malibu,
I’ll probably add SS stripes, Cowl hood, the rear bumper insert and paint
my grill black with the stainless trim, although I probably will keep my
idiot-light dash. With my EFI small block and Hotchkis suspension, no one
will mistake it for a ‘real’ SS, but it’ll run circles around
any ‘real’ SS. I’ll build my car the way I choose, much
like Clint said. I’m 32. -Dave From:

Restoration Parts Just checking out eBay for stuff I
need for my 69 and ran across someone selling build sheets! It is not bad enogh
that everyone and their brother is building clones, but this should be against
the law. They will even ''age'' it for you. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4553646239&category=10076
I am curious, how many of you
would consider building a clone and what is your age? I ask age because it seems
like younger guys who build clones see nothing wrong with it. Personally I
think it takes away from original cars, I mean you go to a show to see rare
stuff and it takes the fun out of it. I would much rather look at a dozen Sorry to vent, but I had to
get this out of my system. |
