By the way, how do I stop being a stranger? Is it by the number of posts you have....or how do you "move up" the chain?

I guess I have a question. First Greg calls the car a fire wall back REBODY. Then Belair states it's a RE-BODY. I think there a whole lot of differance in the two. Which is it?? Give credit where credit is due. Least they tolded it had been changed when it passed thru owners. Which can't say that about other cars. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Phil,
I agree with Belair 100%, if the car was for sale and you asked - you would get the truth, from several people! The good ole boy network consists of those individuals who DON'T rebody cars, and stay away from those cars that have been.

That is the answer I hoped to get. Again, thanks for the clarification. But, it would make for interesting reading to read about the history of some other cars like this. Maybe not complete with VINs or anything......but just some more examples of the lengths people have gone to to dupe the masses. THAT is interesting reading!

Kim,

I haven't seen the actual car to make that determination..I have spoken to a few people on here (offline) that have physically inspected the car, and I posted the info as a "firewall back" re-body mainly because that was the impression I got from them. Since the post there has been a few that said a complete rebody, but that remains to be seen..Until someone post differently I'll say a "firewall back" as it is my understanding that this is VERY apparent on thsi car. I'm not sure if the previous owners did actually pass along the info. as the current owner wasn't aware of the car being a race car (or at least acted as if he wasn't). There is some confusion here, as I was told by a very reputable person that has inspected the car that the current owner was made aware of the cars heritage and the fact that it was possibly a rebody aftr he bought it. So who knows..I'm not sure if the previous owners prior to the current owner disclosed the extensive body work of not..Either way it wasn't a street car and certainly isn't an original sheetmetal car (keep in mind the car had full tubs, lightened doors, a full competition cage and the back seat bracing was gone, along with the floors and trans tunnel).

It sure is nice when someone finds out a car is not what it is claimed to be and makes the information available to evveryone. The fine line is between rumor and reality. My sister's husband's brother's wife's cousin said he heard "blah blah blah" can be very dangerous to state as fact and can actually be slanderous in some cases. It's fine to state fact about a car, but if it's rumor it should be done through private contact. That's my take on it.

Re: Yenko Camaro VIN 124379N615272..and its' histo
 

I guess we should all just have the knowledge and let some unsuspecting guy buy the car...Then we can all sit back and laugh or gossip..The point of the public post is not to hurt the owner..it is to make sure that anyone else has a knowledge of the car..If the knowlege isn't passed along on certain questionable cars then the history is lost and some guy gets duped..Here is something to ponder...Someone made the comment about the guy looking on here..Well if that is the case..why not come forward and just say.."Hey, here is the car...let's inspect it..let's track down the previous owners and research who had it and what was done to the car.." Maybe the answers lay in the fact that others that are very well respected here, have Yenkos, and know their "shxt" HAVE looked it over and it is what it is...

Well said Jeff. "Outing" a car's history based on "somebody told me" is very dangerous. The mere rumor of a car being any kind of "rebody" can destroy its value. Unless undeniable proof is available, those just trying to educate the uninformed should keep their opinions to themselves. Buyers can do their own research, and, ask potential sellers the question directly. Then if a seller misleads the buyer, they can potentially be sued for fraud. Greg, IMO it was inappropriate to post your thoughts on this car, especially since you had no interest in the car. And NO, I don't have anything to hide. Mike

I'm not referring to this particular car, but any car in general. I'm saying that if someone is interested in a particular car, feel free to ask if anybody has information on it. But if the information you have is a rumor then it should be kept private.
