Nothing wrong with either plan.  If you want a "correct" car---do it that way.  If you want it personalized--do it that way.  I chose personalized-----this time, with this car.    :cooldancing:   ...Oldschool

As long as a car is not mis-represented, it's OK with me.

In answer to your question about clones.  Build the car the way you want it.  Don't worry about what other people think.  It is your car.  We have 2 1971 Barracuda's.  One is a recreation the other is the baddest Barracuda around.  They both started life as 71 318 Barracuda's and they still have their original fender tags and VIN tags showing they are 71 Barracuda's not Cuda's.  That is the only bad thing about cloning, some people try to pass off a fake car as a real one.  As long as you leave the fender tag and VIN tag alone there is nothing wrong with clones.  We have been there and done that with both clones and restored to the gills cars.  We like both.  Each car has its place.  What we like about our recreation and our custom Barracuda is the fact we can jump in them and drive them without worrying about destroying an original high dollar Car.  If you have one of the Cuda-Challenger calendars look for the month of April and you will see our Barracuda (Blofish).  Enjoy your car and build it the way you want.  Life is to short to worry about what other people think.   Have fun with your car.  If you want pictures of our cars give us a pm and we will email you some.  Have a great week.

I'm building one. A 71 hemi orange vert. Originally a 383-2 car. Previous owners have converted almost everything over to R/T pieces with hemi suspension.

I rebuilding a 1969 426 hemi for it, that has all of the original pieces. It's not a numbers matching 71 chally vert, but I'll bet it will get lots of attention at the local car shows. And I won't be afraid to drive it. :bananasmi :wave:

Well having a clone isnt so bad my 71 is a tru 340 CUDA but since i did not have the original motor we went with period correct 71 4406pk.Like some other said tis your car and do with it as you want.A real hemi or 6pk car is thru the roof and this is the most inexpesive way to have your cake and eat it to.
