Re: 2010 Yenko/SC Camaro
 

You are correct, in the past some members of this site have not been receptive of the idea of any more Yenko cars being built, whether clones, tribute, continuations, whatever, and I for one certainly respect their opinions, and as you have done, are welcome to comment on this project, or any other such project.

Just as I did with the 2010s, Jim was free to outline his plans for the ’69 Yenko continuation series cars on this site, for all to see and comment on, good or bad.

The foundation of this site has always been to be as open as possbile, and while maybe not agreeing with each other; always respect each other’s opinions.

Re: 2010 Yenko/SC Camaro
 

Because we have already received requests for matching cars/numbers, current owners of the Yenko cars will have first option and priority to order one of the numbered cars which pertain and/or commemorate one which had actually been built prior. Of course, as always, club members will receive top priority.

So Tom, what you are saying is you can have one built ANY way you like it?? Not that I can afford one by any means, but dreams are still free right, how about a 2 tone?

Re: 2010 Yenko/SC Camaro
 

Are you going to have one on display at SEMA this year?

Yes..I would imagine the guys at the SCW could do that. In fact, I would not be surprised to see something with a vinyl roof.

Bruce..that is something we would love to do, and have discussed, but we will need to work out a few details first. We think we can get a car completed (including 427 engine) by then, but then getting it there and back, and the biggee..booth space.

Re: 2010 Yenko/SC Camaro
 

Tom, thanks for the response to my post. Unfortunately I feel the questions that I asked are not being answered. Is GM backing this project? If they are that is great news, however the questions still stands: Does GM have permission to use the Yenko name? But if GM is not backing your project and in the future GM decides to licensed the name Yenko and then build a Yenko Camaro......which Yenko would be considered "real", yours or GM's?

Re: 2010 Yenko/SC Camaro
 

I believe GM is not involved in converting these cars in any way. Yenko originally used the COPO process for 68, 69 and 70, and it is my understanding that is not the case with the 2010's. GM isn't even building the Z28, I doubt they would have any interest in a Yenko labeled car(they didn't originally).

Classic industries sells the Yenko stripe kit (they own the license)and you can install it on a Yugo if you want. I believe you may be over thinking this....

GM never backed Fred Gibb back in 1968. The Gibb Novas didn't have crap for warrenty. I fail to understand what is your question?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Yenko wasn't backed by GM with the 67 & 68 transplants. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: 2010 Yenko/SC Camaro
 

Fred & Don requested items that were not a RPO for the car to be installed, and GM agreed and used the COPO process to get it done.
One slight correction, most 68 Yenko's had the 9737 COPO installed(Sports car conversion). Oh and lets not forget the Corvair Stingers...
