It's an odd position to be in. When people ask, do I say "it's a GTO" or "it's a LeMans" or "it's a LeMans that's cloned to look like a GTO" etc. Think about it, most people asking have no idea what a clone is other than a sheep created in a lab experiment.
Having just purchased a clone, I haven't decided how to respond to the casual gas station crowd questions. To the car cruise crowd, of course, it's a clone ;-)
I loved my `68 LeMans, in part BECAUSE it was a LeMans.
Anyway, I bought the car because it's a REAL car! It's fully restored, built to run and have fun. So in that sense, it's "real." I almost wish my friend who built it didn't clone it, or at least didn't put back on the LeMans louvers on the rear quarters so it wasn't so obvious to the pros. LOL
