Apparently originality in replicas is over rated, look at the sale prices of finished Superformance cars.
This is the same phenomenon that was seen in housing. Too many cars are being prouced and too many are being purchased by speculators, not people who really want a GT40.
When investors buy things because they can make money rather than because they see value in it's function or the pleasure of using it, the overall market is damaged, you have a short term leap in prices, then every one jumps in, the market is glutted and values plummet.
You can see that happening with the classic car market world wide right now.
IMHO
