Dale, I dont think we have missed the boat in sorting out our classic class.In Aus for example cars have disappeared-Terry Allens Camaro for example.Here they can be accounted for as we are such a small country.Second we have never been a disposable car society like them , so consequently car bodies and parts can still be found.Our problem is that we love to tinker and experiment so a period replica will never really satisfy a need to improve the thrill.They are very strict on authenticity of period racers, yet they still complain that not enough cars showing up.Tranzam over there fills a need.You said yourself there was a need for HMC. The other Muscle car class was set up years ago and we all can see when you stray from sensibility,I think the timing is right and these threads show the genuine interest now with all past experience to keep the reins tight on rules-Sir, is this how the car left the factory?One downside is that all the cigarette companies will be loving all the free advertising on authentic and replicas -and no sponsorship money passing hands.
