For example, a cloned 67' GT500 would most likely be a regular 67' Mustang, that the owner has painted to look like the GT500, and possibly added body details to make it look like a GT500. They may have put an equivalent engine in the car (most likely not out of an actual GT500), and if its a good job, it would be difficult to tell the difference between the clone and an original. Or a Hemi Cuda might have started off as a Straight-Six cuda, had that engine removed, the suspension strengthened, a hemi installed, and a "Shaker" hood put in place... that would be a replica as well. Original Hemi cudas could be 100% original from the factory, or restored. Pretty much as long as the engine block matches the car from the factory, then its considered original.
