Some people cant afford a $300,000 original shelby (including myself ) hehe. and there are only so many anyway. So a clone is the closest thing. I can see why you would do it even if it is a fake. I personally wouldnt do it, but if it's done well, nice paint job etc. I think it looks really cool.
Nothing wrong with clones, MANY do it and they have their place in the world. They also are in demand because of the lack of the beast. I would purchase a clone, why not? If its done right, they are just as nice as an original and valuable. Nicely done clones will sell for close to the same amount of the real deal..

looks cool, but not real = gay
HA HA
that's why i really don't agree with the company that's grabbing up all the fb's and turning them into gt350's and 500's. they aren't really gt's and what if someone else wanted to turn that car into a true origional or a show car? now it's just like a thousand others instead of being origionsl.
I'm with Soaring on this one. If you don't want to go original then that's fine by me but there are a myriad of cooler and more creative alternatives. If it isn't a Shelby then don't paint it like one. When I see a stock normal Honda Civic with and "Si" badge I call it rice so how is this any different?

I'm going to have to argue with this one.... A certified SHelby will ALWAYS sell for minimum double the clones.... that cert is easily the difference between a $50k car and a $100k car. I will agree that a NICELY done clone is worth a good amount but come on.... a real shelby is worth double in every case I've seen when conditions/specs are similiar.
now a fake 350 would look cool but all it is is faking. if youre gonna spend the money on a stripe kit and all just make it a custom car and do something original. unless youre so used to your woman faking it you cant tell a difference until she goes behind your back to hook up with a real custom mustang. just my .02.

Come one now, look outside the box dude. We are talking about clones.. a shelby is not the only clone out there and as I said, most well done clones will sell for close to the same money as the real deal. Take a look at Camaro Z28"s, Road Runners, Chargers the entire market... Clone's sell for close to the same as the real thing. Also, it's depends on who is looking as to what "close" is.. To me, within $10,000 of the real deal is close..
The market right now is HOT as far as a clone goes, I watch the market all the time...

i must agree here. you ever watch the auctions or wrecks to riches, the non origional cars fetch a lot more. now, in the case of a yenko or a shelby, yeah, the origional should fetch more.
