Thought this was interesting. The Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Act of 2015. A bill being floated in Congress to allow car manufacturers to build small quantities of classic cars to modern standards. The cars will have to be exact visual replicas of vehicles that are at least 25 years old.

How would this affect our hobby and values?...hmmm.

When you build limited numbers of classic cars to modern standards you need to quadruple (or more) the price to make a profit. It won't affect our cars in the least.

Has the on going production of Shelby Cobra reproductions affected the price of real ones?

That's very true. Probably won't change the value of a C3 at all.
