Default Has anyone seen any replicas?

Of the Corvette C6 or Z06?

Usually when I look in Ebay or the Dupont Registry for exotics, I come across a whole bunch of replicas, e.g. a replica of a Lamborghini Murcielago, which would go for around $30-$50k. But I have never come across Corvette C6/Z06 replicas (although I do see replicas of older Corvette models).

Just wondering.

Why on earth would they make a $30k replica of a car they can buy for $40k new?

I am currently working on a C6 using a 1989 Pontiac Fiero...it should be spot on and when done will probably be in the $30-35K range....only difference is it will have 190 bhp as opposed to the 400....it will have the Lambo type flip doors which you can not get on the C6....the interior will be much nicer as well....any interest please PM me....

The Fiero thing is even funnier when you remember that '88 was the last year for it.
