Good point. A tribute car is one thing and sometimes neat to see when you might seldom otherwise get to see a real one. However, a car that uses tons of NOS parts, restamped drivetrain and reproduction paperwork (and not advertised or labeled as such) and disguised to look like the real thing is a whole other game. I do lots of inspections around the country every year on LS6's and really hate when I spend a clients money only to have call the seller on the table regarding his "tribute LS6" that he forgot to mention. They are all very good at playing dumb.
