There is only one way to answer this question and that is to ask only one person and the rest of the world agree with him. Otherwise you have multiple opinions and no two cars that you can use as an exact example.

Biggest problem is I have never seen an "Exact" clone. The label gets placed on hundreds of variations. It is not difficult to show examples of true SS cars restored to the way they were built but almost impossible to produce a car that has been built to that same exactness.

It all boils down to what one particular individual is willing to pay .

Many times a person will sacrifice a certain amount of build quality to buy what may or may not be a true SS to fit it in his budget.

But then again I guess all of us old guys that bought these cars new were guilty of taking them from originals to clones. We sure tried hard to make 'em look like someone elses. That was back when it was fun.

The key word that everyone uses is equal. I just do not think you can show an example of each that are close enough in exactness to make a comparison. Even if you could what do you use as your basis, one person's appraisal of each one or what two people actually paid.

It truly is a question that has no answer because the items needed to make the comparison do not exist and once you involve human beings opinions are all over the place.
