Purist, the thrill of the chase, and finding those hard to find original parts to bring the car back to what it once was is what I love best. Took 13 years to collect near perfect original parts to restore my 69, but the wait was worth it. Now I have a 69 coupe that will be a TA Tribute car, but as close to factory as we can possibly get it or afford the parts needed.
I don't mean to ruffel any feathers here, but, a true purist would not consider a "tribute car" or a "clone" for their collecton. A purist would only have vehicles that were as described of the trim tag or PHS. To them a tribute car is just another modified hot-rod.
