    Well speaking of a mad scientist  :stirpot: I have cloned my Charger as an R/T.

    Now I am straight up with everyone about that too.  I do have a problem about others who try to pass it off as an original.  My car has gone through more owners than I have shoes my whole life.  My car has been left for dead multiple times and was in near crushing condition when I bought her. 

    Originally a 318 car, she had a barely working 440 in her when I got her.  Originally a column gear selector car, a previous owner changed it to the console, transplanting a Coronets console in it.  When I bought her I liked having full freedom to modify and change whatever I wanted to.

    On my car show pics, I brag of the fact I have made an R/T because I did it myself and am happy with my handiwork.

    So do I like clones? YES! as long as they didn't destroy a numbers matching car and they are straight up about it.

    At least they saved one from the crusher and now it reflects them even more.

      :iagree:I just bought a 1972 Satellite with 49,000 miles on it for $500.  It has a 400 and runs with cold air.  It was a good deal.  I am going to make it look like a Road Runner.  I can have fun with it and not worry about it.  It's kind of foolish to drive a real 6 pack car and just leave it somewhere.  This "Road Runner" clone can be a second driver in case my daily goes down.

    No rust.  LOL.  I wish.  It is not too bad.  It has bondo in it.  It was redone by a cheap place in the 80's by the original owner.  The second owner ended up with it as a payment for a debt and had no interest in it.  He was going to sell it to guys for an Enduro race.  I grabbed it first.  The trans slips. It has a rusty fuel tank from sitting around.  The A/C is cold though.  It is the original color. FY1. It needs work; but is usable as is.  Pictures are decieving.  The original upholstery does tell the story on the mileage.  I and the car got lucky. My deal of a lifetime is the $7,000 I have in my 440+6 Cuda bought almost 3 years ago.

    Well.... I have no probelm with one.  (short of someone being deceptive for money ...as many have already said)  Really if you take a 318 out put a 340 in you have just cloned a 340 car...so what is the difference if you add the stickers and paint?If you simply repaint a car are you going with original or a new better paint?


    I would be most pleased to take a nasty green plain 74 and convert it to look like a 72 340 ...heck HEMI car!

    just the same I would rather own a clone 71 HEMI Cuda that I could drive than to have a real one I was afraid to get rained on....how sad is it to have a car you can't, won't, or fear driving!

    one day the slant/six 74 will be worth a fortune...because there will only be 3 unmodified versions left  :blah:

    I'm glad this car isn't original.I wouldn't want to touch it!  I wanted a car to make my own-what I wanted. It's not the original motor but date correct 340. I love the built small block.Better on gas,handles better in the tight stuff. It's a perfect cruiser.    I had a guy come up to me and ask if I drove it everyday. I said "Whenever I can".   He said:"that's too bad,If it was mine I'd park it in the garage and look at it."  My response came quickly.......    I like it more than that!!!!!   I'm not a collector,I'm a driver.
