Some guys have all the pluck.
At least one phony Rod Stewart with spiked blond locks and a cockney accent is duping star-struck fans and restaurant owners across the city into thinking he's the legendary crooner, The Post has learned.
The bogus Brit, who bears a striking resemblance to the "Maggie May" singer, has been spotted riding the subway, partying in the Meatpacking District, crashing World Cup soccer bashes and even loitering near a schoolyard, sources said.
Desperate to impress the "celebrity," shop owners are showering the sham Stewart with free cocktails and meals across Manhattan, sources said.
In July, he attended the Hublot World Cup viewing party at Bagatelle for the Germany-Brazil game, where he duped event organizers into giving him endless booze.
An Instagram user posted a possible cellphone pic of the impostor — officially dubbed "Rockaway Rod" for his random New York City cameos — sitting on a subway train as it passed over the Manhattan Bridge this month.
"Wait, is that Rod Stewart?" the poster wrote of the bespectacled man sporting a blond rooster mane.
Whoever he is, the Stewart look-alike has the aging-rock-star look down — sporting accessories including four beaded bracelets on his wrist and a gold chain around his leathery neck.
The genuine rocker's longtime manager, Arnold Stiefel, confirmed this man is a fake.
"The real Rod has seen the [subway] picture, and he thought it was funny, but he said, 'Please let people know it isn't me,' " Stiefel told The Post.
It's unclear whether sporadic Stewart sightings are the work of a lone con man or several — or if the man in the subway pic is even one of the impostors.
"This has been going on for years," Stiefel told The Post.
