Spend a ton of money to build a "tribute" car.

Expensive ticket to the land of the vapid and vacuous.

How is it a clone, using a non numbers matching engine?

Stuff a Shelby 428 into a 6 cylinder mustang, add some badges, and stripes, and yes, you have a clone. This car however, with matching engine or not, will always be a documented Shelby prototype.

Yes, they will track the engine down with any luck. If the owner of the engine knows what the car will be worth when restored, he'll be able to ask a fortune for it.

I agree, it won't be worth millions without the number's matching drivetrain... but will still be a cool piece of history. If it is restored beautifully, it may be worth north of $100,000. BUT, with all the matching correct parts it could very well be worth 2 million+.

Well...sheeeeeeeeit!!

I knew Id parked it somewhere, but couldn't remember where.

What if the original motor threw a rod and the engine was recycled?
