Ford Falcon XY GTHO question

[ford man xf]

I have had a couple of months to think about it, and still will be building a XY GT replica, to add it to a HO, will be a decision I will make when I start buying all the parts, as I am swaying towards an auto, it may just be a GT not HO, if you don't make it manual then there's no point calling it a HO.

What if some rich bastard with too much money decided to re-manufacture the original XY GT parts and sold them? Would this rich bastard get into trouble with Ford or is it perfectly legal to make a complete and exact replica?

Supply and demand, people ...... supply and demand!! A complete, late 60's Camaro can (and has) be built from all new parts in the good ol ewe ess aye ... including a brand noooo ... off the shelf ... aftermarket shell!! I do believe the same thing is almost possible with same period Mustangs too .... so bring on the "lookalikes" I say ..... at least they're preserving the bloodline .........

yeh saw that site a while back, thanks anyway though.

a few of the parts are already repro, but the main ones arent.

I believe after 25 years, it is open slather!

Whats the most expensive price someone has seen a GT steering wheel go for?

There is no aftermarket steering wheels are there, I see a couple on ebay, but they are chrome, and nowhere near as good.
