Doesn't bother me, make me

sometimes...

2 more examples. '66 or '67 Chevelle SS 396. But wait, that is a mouse motor under the hood. I would have left my hood closed. I can appreciate all the work that goes into a car, but if you round 3rd base, you might as well go home. Then we have a Mustang with a 289. But wait, that is a bad ass sounding 5.0 you have there.

I like it better, like a sleeper effect!

Did you check the VIN number of that 66 Chevelle? Maybe it was originally a SS396 and one of the previous owners blew the stock motor and couldn't afford a replacement big block or even the current owner took it out to save it or have it rebuilt to put back in later when ready to sell.
You never know unless you check the VIN.

Badges and graphics and clones are great.

People can pose and lie all they want...and sometimesI enjoy it. Literally, a restomodded muscpe car done up like a higher model can look great and perform better.

I draw the line when $$$ is involved. Don't try to sell something as something it's not, regardless of how stupid the buyer might be.

An homage car can be cool- like making a Tempest a GTO clone and being honest about it. Something about up-badging a car like a V6 Camaro to an SS isn't really an homage or clone- it's just fake.

No, I didn't check the vin. I only judge people on a forum

It was a nice dressed up small block and the car had a great stance. Very nice looking car that had some $'s thrown at it. I had a 350 in '72 Vette, that originally came with a 454, and the front end sat a little high. Here is a clone Yenko Nova, that car rocked

No mouse there, pure RAT!
