    That would probably be in the $15-20k range for complete Pro build (w/ all OEM parts)

    $10k is a lot of dough to clone a Pro.

    Well usually when it's a clone or a replica they are identified as such. A Shelby Cobra is a great example of a vehicle that an original is so expensive and so rare almost nobody can actually drive it, so a replica is made and kind of becomes its own animal.

    But even in this example the replica or clone is admittedly a replica or clone. To take an SR5 and slap a Pro badge on it is... well....

    Dishonest and stupid.

    True. They are sold as non-originals. The Superformance ones at least are also licensed replicas from Shelby

    You have to be super careful shopping for a Buick Grand National. LOTS of clones are being passed off as the real deal.

    For an SR or SR5 upgrade seems ideal, even other trims as well

    good research OP

    There were a couple of guys from Mercedes on Jay Lenos Garage the other day that are building "new" 1930s era race cars using all original parts and specs because all the originals were destroyed. Sure is different than what's going on here!

    Numbers matching is huge right now. The 350 in my 65 Chevy doesn't add any value and may actually hurt it.

    1/2 that if you decided to go the aftermarket route. Not sure i would want to clone a TRD Pro. Aftermarket options that are cheaper than dealer and are usually better.

    Nothing fits better than an OEM part.

    Right! I believe the differences between the trim levels on Grand National like Buicks is so subtle that only some savvy shopper could spot the difference.

    Yep. I followed one that had only 200miles on it up for auction. Didn't sell but bid to 150k
    Depending on who's wanting to buy, yep. Lots of people in the classic car community are picky on that. I couldn't give less of a crap, though.
    These will probably go for huge money, if they ever sell them. Lots of manufacturers who do this keep them so their real value sometimes is never known

    Usually not. Aftermarket parts rarely have serious quality control and failure modes controls.

    Nice job OP, but for that can't of money I'd rather do something than clone a Pro.

    Amen, brother! I considered rebuilding a 65 Ford Falcon as a sleeper car and would prefer a rolling chassis instead of some numbers matching virgin.
