Even when those cars are disclosed to be clones, they still bring big money. They'll bring even more if someone can successfully pass them off as the real McCoy.
To clone a Golden Hawk 400, the cost of the leather interior would be a killer, but the balance of the restoration would cost the same as any other 1957 Golden Hawk. With the right line of BS -oops, I mean enhanced information including "documented proof" it was a real 400- it could easily sell for more than enough over the price of a comparable "regular" 1957 Golden Hawk to more than offset the cost of the leather interior upgrade from standard upholstery in the donor car.
