Default clones

Exactly what I was talking about Sharkbite. Build it to your tastes but just don't "rebadge" it.

GregsGTOs2, congrats on the Gold concourse award. Yes, I know very well the class structure and point system for GTOAA events and am also a former concourse class winner. I was just surprised that someone who was competing in that class would do that knowing that points would be deducted. Before they had a point system they only used first, second, and third place in class so it was very tough to be first place. The auction price was the highest for a 69 Judge at that event but I thought the car would have brought more considering the recent concourse win and proof of the cars pedigree. The highest price for a GTO at that event was not even a Judge. It was a lightly modified 64 GTO hardtop done to the highest level of workmanship. Just proves my point about auctions and what drives the price of these cars.

For all who post that they will never sell their clone as the real thing I admire your honesty. However my concern is not what you do but what happens later on down the road when the car changes hands again. The next owner might not be as honest.
