GREAT IDEA MOTOWN (LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY)............STEVE/TOM?

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

That's why I asked Rob to handle the bookkeeping and collect the payments...that way you'll get a receipt from the sYc that corresponds with the inside pocket declaration. I could probably get George Kurien [the manufacturer] to make a receipt/memo that certifies it's origins, if you'd like. [That offer would apply to all those that ordered a jacket.]

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Steve..............I hate to be the one to complain.......but have you looked at the inside pocket declaration? It says "Custom made for Yenko Sporscar Club".

The "t" is missing in SporTscar.

Is everyone else's like this or just mine?

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

I just got a PM from Belair about the same issue. Belair bought 2 jackets and one had a misprint like you describe, while the other jacket he got was correct. It' appears that some slipped through with the inside label discrepency. Everyone should check their inside pocket label for that error. I will get replacements for anyone that got a jacket with the label error. Send them back to me, and I'll expedite the exchange. I just checked the 2 I got and they were correct, but obviously 2 [so far] were incorrect.

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Mine says "Yanko"......just kidding. The People with the misprints might just want to keep them as they are even more Rare....

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Charley,
Exactly! The misprint adds to the rarity, for those who know about old coins, the double die stamped dates on certain years are on the top of the value heap.

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Gawd...don't give me a stroke!! Seriously, Charley, I want everyone to be happy with these jackets. So please...EVERYONE check for that spelling error on the inside pocket label. I tried really hard to get them out perfectly, but I was more focused on the leather dye colors, stitching, fonts, logo and collar labels being era correct, "Red Dawg". Let me know guys: [email protected]

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Mine was taken off the assembly line and went straight to engineering where a RA V tag was tested...although no documentation has come to light yet I believe this is one of maybe 2 that escaped destruction at the proving grounds...later it was converted to a SYC approved Sporscar jacket with a new inner tag from the guy who is selling new Camaro bodies....however it remains to be seen whether this will be recognised as a true Sportscar jacket and not a re-body....

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

I understand you can also get these jackets from Jack Douglass. Are they real Yenko Jackets?

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Bel air,
You got me rollin on the floor, [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] about the same reaction I will get when I show up for a party at the clubhouse this Saturday night! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I am jealous, your jacket is rarer then mine, but at least I got matching numbers, or should I say letters! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I had a guy ask me in a store last night why my jacket said "sick" on the sleeves, and why that was spelled wrong. Takes all kinds I guess, my pro-street 61 apache pick up was parked in a gas station one day and a older fellow with a John Deer hat walked around it, looked at the wheelie bars, and commented that was the damdest three point hitch he had ever seen.....

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Since I'm into racing, I got the stripper version: the ultra-rare "tag delete" jacket. They say it's good for a .1 from the car to the front door...[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Hey Charlie........since it is so rare, and you and I both wear the same size.........what ya say we trade jackets and you slip me........oh say $1,000 or so difference because of the rarity.

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Hey Belair do you have the build sheet with the "MEMO" box checked????? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

Charley............you're a riot.

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

No buildsheet but I'm pretty sure it's true because a friend of my cousins aunts siters neighbor used to know Jim Wangers when he was in the engineering department with Mrsbillybobcat..............hey Mo.....I got my 81 Support Crew T-shirt on right now !!! Daly City...

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Ok Belair, but has Mrs Billybobcat confirmed this???

Can you post the buildsheet, Title and Bill of sale???,
I mean if you have nothing to Hide??, it sure would clear things up for me.

Thnx Bud.

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Steve, once we have a complete list of who got jackets and their mailing addresses, I would be glad to send out a letter, on sYc stationary, authenicating their purchase.

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

That would be awesome, in addition to the sYc sales receipt, I think. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

We have only one jacket unsold. It's a size "XL". Except for Belair, everyone was a pleasure to deal with.

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

That would really be nice Tom. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

For BelAire and myself, could you make some reference to the fact the our jackets have an error but they came that way from the factory (so to speak) and that they are still authentic and are indeed a part of the second production of the jacket?

Thanks in advance Tom for your assistance in this matter. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img]

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets

That's right...........you've got the idea Tom ! ! !

Tom, you also need to edit your signature so it reads

Tom Clary
Yenko Sporscar Club

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

I guess I should not poke too much fun at you guys, as I am the one who choose the name for the club and my jacket says Yenko Sporscar Club. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]


But I would not change it for the world. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] 'Cause, when I need a good laugh, what better way then to look inside my own sYc jacket and see the mis-print. Just goes to show that the good Lord, or whoever did it, has a sense of humor.

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Hey, JD, that is an idea. Instead of changing the labels, we change the name of the club. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img] Course, the ones with the jackets that read right might disagree with our thinking. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's an email from George Kurien that I opened this morning:

Sure Steve,

I will gladly take care of solving the problems on hand.

I suggest a double pronged approach.

1. We will follow your suggestion of sending you proper Certificates
with the wordings as indicated by you, as well as the story
behind the re-creation of these jackets.

2. I suggest, that we will gladly get several more Designer labels. I
can easily send these labels to you - and our collectors can easily
get a local - seamster, seamstress or shoe repair person to sew
it in place. Or - on the other hand, if they will (after the winter season,
when, they will only hang it up in their closet) send the jacket to
me, I will gladly affix this new correct label and return it back to
them - AT NO COST.

If however, you have any other suggestion, please feel free to let me
know - and I will more than gladly co-operate to stand behind every
creation built by us.

Best,

George Kurien

We're doin' the best we can here boys!

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Geeezzz Guys,
I was only kidding about the documentation, I didnt think you guys would take the ball and run with it! Hell, I guess if you get a Letter Of Authenticity from the Franklin Mint for a $30 diecast, a letter for a $700 jacket is not unreasonable......but then again......maybe it should be a Certification of Lunacy instead. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Motown [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Steve,

I like his approach. I would like to have the certificate explaining the mistake and the story of the re-creation of the jacket and also the new correct designer label sent to me.

That way I can put both of these items with the jacket and IF I CHOOSE TO CHANGE IT, it will be my decision.

And because of the rarity of the jacket and the rarity of the mistake, with this documentation and the correct label, if I choose to sell it some day, possibly the value of it will be greater than a jacket that was produced correctly.

Thank you for your concern over this problem Steve. Once again Steve, YOU THE MAN.

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Steve...last night real late...I noticed the large embroidered "Yenko" was spelled "OKNEY" on my jacket......oh never mind...I forgot I ate some brownies that Motown sent over...

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

No you Moron...It was supposed to say "Monkey"

Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

In addition to the error on the inside label, i also found another problem with the jackets... I went to put mine on, and found it to be very tight fitting around the neck, and the sleeves dont seem to be cut right at all. In addition, the zipper seems very difficult to operate....

oh wait a minute...false alarm, I had it on backwards... it fits fine now. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
