Tribute versus Clone

Heres how I classify the difference.

A clone is if I did the same thing as above and used the fender tag, vin plate and matching numbers drivetrain from a superbird, build the car how the superbirds build sheet said it left the factory and sold my illegal car on ebay/craigslist/fabo/barret jackson passing it off as a legit superbird.

No that is a rebody vs a clone that is made to look exactly like the real one but without the vin number and not being passed as real.

"IMO, tribute is a word owners use because they see clone as a negative term."

And "recreation" also but all mean the same thing -
