As I have a keen eye and can spot the slightest of deviations in correct shape, stance, smell etc, etc.

I don't need to refer to the following simple easy to follow, fool proof, non-destructive method.
If the hood is up you feel under the inside lip by the engine bay or under the upper lip on either door. If the edges are molded. Its a replica.
If the edges evidence material rolled over onto tubing and riveted (a subject dear to my heart) to the tubing theres a one in 3 chance its original. The other two possibilities are that its a Kirkham or a new CSX. To rule the latter two out ask the owner.
