>From the list above, #9, #11, #18, #28 in the race, and #14 in the display 
are replicas, although not in the kit-car sense.   They are hand-fabricated 
continuation cars (or in the case of P/1012, a recreation of an original 
car) built to the highest standard at a cost of $400-500K, and afforded full 
FIA recognition as 'vintage' cars even though they are not actually old.

P/1012 is a bit unusual as there are actually two of them, both considered 
'real'.   It was crashed heavily at Daytona in '67 by Peter Revson, returned 
to Holman-Moody and set aside.   In 1971 a guy bought a brand new, unused 
chassis from JWA and transferred all the useable parts over to it, and that 
became P/1012.   Years later, the original mangled chassis was rebuilt by 
Brian Wingfield in England, and that car ALSO became P/1012 (because that's all 
it had ever been).   The latter car has a great website dedicated to it:

http://www.fordgt40-1012.com/gb/

You could debate for hours which of the two P/1012s out there should be 
afforded the title of 'real'.

Still, even if you choose to ignore these recreations, there was still a 
huge number of genuine cars there, with most being driven as nature and God 
intended!
