    After seeing several replicas in the "Danish Collection", it got me thinking. Since we all have limited funds, what one car would you replicate?

    I would do a P4 with a 550 v12 in it..converted to ITB's with motec management. That would be a blast.

    restomod db5 with modern Aston running gear. (I've seen the David Brown speed back gt build on Jag chassis with Jag motor but its looks aren't quite right to me)

    I'd like a continuation Superformance GT40 Mk I with an aluminum small block and fuel injection. I could drive it to COTA and back. Also one of those new Lancia Stratos replicars with the modern motor and management, and yes, I'd get the AC option because I live in Texas.

    Agree. But if I had the funds, and it was technically feasible, I'd jam a V12 in my Cali and that'd be the last car I'd need, want or drive...T

    Not at all accurate, just a fun toy. :)

    Exclude the Ferrari badges, of course.

    I would not in any way support any of those who are cannibalizing authentic and genuine factory original cars to make a replica of a more desirable vehicle out of. That being said I think Superformamce is doing really cool stuff. I like the continuation thing they do. It’s it own thing.

    I built a 427 Cobra replica and spent 12 years enjoying it. For many years I have thought that a great kit would be my Cobra chassis' 91" wheelbase stretched 3 1/2" to match the SWB's and using a SWB body with enlarged fenders to accommodate today's wide wheels and tires. The SWB has the timeless brutish look of a 427 Cobra.
