Re: Were there ever any Yenko or motion cars built that had A/C ?
 

What year Yenko was it 67,68 or 69? Was it a Camaro? I heard about a very nasty 68' out of Florida a few years ago. Could this be the same car?

restorer;
Are you sure it wasn't a '68?? I thought I remembered one in FL that you could buy through the mail.

Difficult call on the 'how far is a re-body' restoration topic. Legally, I guess it is when you stamp one car's VIN into another car's firewall, thoughts?

Well, I don't mean to bounce from the subject of fakes to re-bodies, BUT, in my opinion, they are certainly very different. While I don't want to own a total rebody for my own purposes, we should undestand that many of the supercars have required extensive bodywork as a result of rust or wrecks. At what subjective point does a "restoration" of a really bad car become a "body swap"? If you put a rusty wreck on a jig and replace floors, fenders, quarters,wheel housings, frame rails, sub frame, and roof, etc,etc, but the firewall stays in place, is it a really good resto, a body swap, or a rebody? Is the person who did this a crook or the savior of a piece of automotive history?

bkhpah: sorry I wasn't a little more specific but it was a blue '69 Camaro, anyone else heard of this car and what became of it?

In historic racing circles they refer to the "tub" (interior compartment firewall etc)
as the intergral part of the body, which must
remain. Fenders boots hoods are parts, and are always subject to replacemant, but something more tangible than VIN and body tags should remain. Back in the big $$$ restoration boom I remember the word gas cap restoration being applied to one 1967 L-88.IMHO rebodies are closer to Clones than real cars (even substantially restored)ones
