Replica 356 Registry?

Well, if the prices of replicas keep going up...

Would we call it the Porsche Replica Registry?

Clown Car Registry sounds so tacky.

I'm joking here. There are several states that would love to monitor such a registry. A good portion of these cars are registered improperly, some with totally bogus pedigrees.

Best to leave well enough alone...

The prior version of this site tracked make of replica and had a satisfaction questionare.  The questionare was a bit bogus since FF/CMC had been out of business for like 20 years at that time.  It was nice to see a total count of CMC/IM/VS etc on the site though.  Old site also had space for each member to post photos of their car. (Have never found a total count for CMS produced).

You can create a signature that can be used to show your location and make of replica. You can also put photos of your car in your profile.  That woud be a big step forward.  I wouldn't mind listing year of my CMC and its "serial" (actually invoice) number --- ha, even $$$ invested. I see all above posters have done this already - but suspect 75 of others are aware it can be doen.

I do like PRR.

I certainly would not have "Porsche" in the web domain name, that's just asking for Porsche to send a cease and desist letter.

@WOLFGANG you got me thinking about my VMC Speedster being built now. I just looked at my invoice and there is a number. I'll ask Greg if that corresponds to the number of cars he has built. That's interesting.

Maybe not have the state titled/registered then. Just the basics, manufacturer, year, photos, dealer history, owner history. Not sure if anything like this would be useful.

@JonathanATL

No “Porsche” in “PCCA”: “Plastic Car Club of America”, though I much prefer “Plastic Clown Cars of America”.

After the experience I've recently had with the Mass. DMV and the annual safety inspection process, I think I'll keep my head down. This site is about as "registered" as I want to get.

Invoice/Serial # = number cars built?  For CMC/FF i don't think the invoice would help for total # cars built. My CMC is S2244 and was built in Nov 88.  I think the S was Standard "Classic" body vs the California Flared body. 

Can some one with a CMC flared body confirm their serial#?  If the first digit is different - we might be able to tell how many Classics and how many Flared cars were built.  They also made Porsche 359, MGTD, Gazelles, Cobra, '34 Fords and the Tiffany.

 It appears the prefix digit was different by model -

Classic Speedster with ID No CMC speedster ID No. S2162

“Classic Gazelle” with the ID No. B11392

Gazelle with 6 cyl Ford with ID No.  B7969

 Cobra with ID # D0368 built around 1993

They did $20M in sales their top year so suspect total build # was over 10k.

Here's one from a FF TD -

Exactly  AL !

I have a Fiberfab Californian (Wide Body) and here is the ID plate that came with the Kit.  The previous owner had the car licensed and registered in Florida using the Fiberfab ID number as the VIN no.  I registered it in Indiana using the same number. I was surprised they would do that. The C stands for Californian.

I haven't unloaded the car from the SLO trip yet, I'll send in foto of the plate later. A few years back State of California was monitoring the site checking for bogus registrations.
