    Zoom in on this in the catalog photos.
    See that “64”?

    Original Euro lenses don’t have that.

    So, the signals are the indicator that the car is a CZ? Maybe by your own ill conceived standards... but please don't tell me that a car that has in all probability had a lot of metal replaced, received a new paint job, had all the interior replaced etc. etc. and all of a sudden ONE item is a repro that this car is tainted. That's PURE BS!!! Original lenses would make this car then "original" ???? ha ha

    There's lots wrong with the car, but focusing on one small item as the arbiter on the car is extreme. You're entitle to your opinions, but....

    The car is essentially a "reproduction" in many if not most aspects...
    You're absolutely right Eric; I'm obsessed with the signal lights. And I have every right to be on a car that's projected at almost ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

    And there are lots of other "tells" with this car.
    The JC Whitney Bosch ignition switch.
    The $50 hood badge.
    The Botox filled dash.
    Incorrect air filter.
    Late model sound pad.
    Incorrect fuel pump.
    Wrong eng lid grill.

    I could go on but my lense objections seem to light people up the most... which is all I can hope for.

    " I said, that's life (that's life) and as funny as it may seem
    Some people get their kicks
    Stompin' on a dream
    But I don't let it, let it get me down…"

    Very beautiful color...
