I'm not saying all original cars will be worthless, certainly not. It does not help the value of original cars though, at the least.
In my case, I bought an AC Cobra for it's aluminum body and ID tag so that I could race it, which I did. If I had this to do over again this year, I could buy an aluminum Kirkham instead and save a bit of money.Is the AC worth more or less, if it can now be replaced on the race track by the cheaper Kirkham ?
I no longer race the Cobra, but have switched to a Lola T332 CS can am. Funny thing, but it would cost more to reproduce that particular Lola than it is worth, so at least i am safe there !
