I question why you would want a replica, when an original can be had for close to, if not the current price.

To each his own I guess.

[67 GT350]

I am sick of people asking me if my real 67 is a real 67 because of cars like that...

[98SVT - was 06GT]

It's a modern era kit car. New Dynacorn body and other components gathered far and wide. They pay SA a fee and SA blesses the build with a place in their unpublished unsearchable registry.
These licensed builds have ZERO connection to SA beyond paying a fee and getting your paperwork. To use the name Shelby they need the license from SA - to use GT500 and the trade dress (shape and look) they need a license from Ford. Ford fees vary by the number you want to build. They were willing to allow a guy I know to build 10 Mustang I replicas for no fee but they wanted a big amount to go beyond the 10. He didn't feel he could make enough per car to justify the tooling costs.

The federal rules changed a few years ago. It allows a component (kit) car builders to sell completed cars. The manufacturer creates a serial number and generates a MSO (manufacturer statement of origin) so the car can be registered. The year can be whatever the builder says it is since it states model year (must be at least 25 years old) not the year built. They do have to pass current EPA rules which is why they all get current drivetrains.

Low-volume manufacturer (LVM) exemption
The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) of 2015 exempts up to 325 replica vehicles annually from federal motor vehicle safety standards. However, replica vehicles must still meet equipment standards, such as those for lighting, brake hoses, glass, and tires.

Intellectual property
Replica vehicle manufacturers must certify that they own or have a license for the intellectual property associated with the vehicle. This includes patents, trademarks, and trade dress.

PS - why are they calling a 5.0 car a GT500???

I hear you  67 GT350  I have been dealing with that the past 22 years at local car shows.

I know there was a Time, way back after the original Eleanor mess, SAI was offering continuation Shelby Mustangs for a while.  Were those built BY them or FOR them?  I am thinking now they decided it is easier to license someone to just Build them to their specs and just collect a Check.
