Anyone who has seen this month's Hot Rod has to be amazed.They managed to get a company to make repro STEEL body Camaros. You can get the body/ frame for 12K or actually buy a NEW 69 Camaro (turn-key finished) for 40K! next is NEW 67 Mustangs.... Will this drive down the original cars in value? Will it anger the Classic car owners? Or will owners rejoice in the fact that they can replace a dented door with a new steel one? I think either way, this is a huge development in Hot Rodding....It was an amzing article IMO.

Like with any "repro" part ,,, may make the originals even MORE valuable and sought after, but does muddy the water when one doesn't know the minute differences between original and repro ... buyer beware again!

At Auburn, the replicars had license plates on the front bumpers that identified them as "replicars". That and the fact they were parked on the side streets, by themselves, not in the town square. They are beautiful cars, nonetheless. One guy had a Viper engine in a boattail-speedster.
