I had a very different experience today while getting a Texas safety inspection at a local garage. Pulled in and the place came to a stop as customers and mechanics gathered around the car. Within 15 seconds I was asked if it was a real one. I told the gathering that no, there are not many real ones that were made in the 60's around and this on was made in 2009. The response was pretty amazing, something like "wow, a new one, never saw a new one before". Probably never saw an old one either. I wasn't trying to be cute or deceitful at all but really, it didn't matter. The group was blown away by the car, just like everyone else is by most of the nice replicas out there. So, I'm for just being happy and proud of what you have....everyone else seems to be already.
