I've got a '70 Super Bee 440 6-Pack, 4-Speed. It was originally a 383 Magnum Auto Trans. car. The 383 was tired, I still have it and the Auto, and I love it. Unless someone asks I don't advertise it as a clone but I couldn't love a true 440 6-Pack any more, unless I was trying to sell it, LOL. If you're buying muscle cars, be wary. Even the really sharp guys get fooled on occasion. In fact a few clones have gone through Barret Jackson as authentic, only to be revealed as clones later. Do your due diligence and contact a specialist if at all possible. And with the record keeping in the 60-70's they can't always be 100% positive on a car.

You're absolutely correct. In fact, unless you are buying them as an investment I would rather have a clone to drive and enjoy on weekends, to shows and out for dinner.

I kept a page of the last few cars I had. Of course, they are all gone now. But notice the 62 413 in the top row. Talk about a sleeper! That is a factory car and one of only 50 built and was one of my all time favorites. Another favorite was the Cadmaro. Check them out at here..

I'm not sure if I should feel bad for the guy or embarrassed. It sucks that you can't trust someone but the fact is you can't trust anyone anymore.

Shady salesman suck. My wife is still trying to get Audi to apply the correct emblem to her Audi R8 Spyder. The salesman assured us the A4 emblem was misapplied on a few R8's and there is a backlog on R8 emblems but I'm starting to get suspicious now after ready this thread.

Anyway to check the VIN on my Raptor to make sure it's a 2015?
