There are replicas and there are kit-cars.
Replicas have original style everything, the frame, drivetrain ,suspension, etc. See a SAI or Kirkham for a good example.
Kit cars look like a replica, but are very different. They borrow drivetrain and suspension pieces from other cars like mustangs, thunderbirds mustang II's and such. Neither are "real" as that term for the most part connotes "built in the 60"s" but lets not pretend that there are not huge differences.
