Hey all, fun thread.
I have a 66 Tempest convertible, the fun thing about it is owning a Tempest means never having to prove it isnt a clone.
On the other hand, we are cloning my wifes 72 convertible LeMans into a GTO. Not to sell or anything other than a wiley wink to those who "are in the know." As I mean to say, most of us here know from the git-go that there were no convertible GTOs made in 72. So in essence we are setting up a deception for fun, not for profit as we will likely never sell either of our cars.
In the end, I think it is about deception in one form or another.
Like the very worth while video that was linked here, the background knowledge makes it or breaks it. It either achieves the desired or intended result, or it is maliciously perpetrated.
Then too, my hipocrasy varies by degrees.
Would I clone a car into something it wasnt when it rolled out of the factory?
Sure, but probably modify it into something 180 degrees from original is more likely.
Would I date a post-op Transvestite that looked just as good as true born woman?
Hell no.
Obviously not a numbers matching human being....
We are fickle creatures indeed, eh?
