For me, the choice to build a clone was partly the initial buy in cost, but mostly the quality of the cars available was the clincher. All the real Shelby's (and K-cars) had been thrashed. You could find no rust ever, perfectly straight absolutely "all original parts" ...A and C code fastbacks for a few hundred bucks. If you are going to do the whole thing over anyhow, .. Why not start with a perfect "car"
