Hemmings Motor News Blog

Hemmings Motor News has been around since 1954. We're proud of our heritage, but we're also more than the Hemmings full of classifieds that your father subscribed to. Aside from new editorial content every month in Hemmings, we have three monthly magazines: Hemmings Muscle Machines, Hemmings Classic Car and Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car.

While our editors traverse the country to find the best content for those magazines, we find other oddities related to the old-car hobby that we really had no place for - until now. With this blog, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what we see and what we do during the course of putting out some of the finest automotive magazines you'll ever read.

Open Diff – Which One-Off Car Would You Replicate?

Posted December 06, 2018 12:00 AM by dstrohl

The problem with one-off cars, as we saw recently with our story on the Mysterion, is that, no matter how widely appreciated they may be, they’re also most at risk for disappearing from the face of Earth for good. Or they may end up squirreled away in somebody’s collection. Or, heck, they just can’t make it to every show and every museum for everybody to check out.

Enter the value of a replica, particularly one as meticulously researched as Jeffrey Jones’ Mysterion replica. They bring all the little details of the original to light, yes, but they also allow that one-off car to reach audiences it in all likelihood would never have reached before.

Bring back the [insert your favorite dead car here]! Which one is it?

A working version of Supercar!

Why would you ever want to replicate the Mysterons. For an extraterrestrial species, they were far too easy to defeat.
