I think some of you are missing the bigger picture. If we say no more Yenkos, Nickeys, Giibs, whatever, unless they are “real”, do we say the same thing about other cars from our past, such as nostalgia drag cars and Gassers, cars influenced by Old Reliable, Red Alert, Grumpy’s cars, Sox/Martin, or period built Gassers and altereds, etc? What about Hemis, Cobras, even modern street rods? IMO, no. As the values of these cars increase, both in $$ amounts and sentimental values, less and less folks are able to really enjoy their “real” cars, often times even afraid to show them. So do we just shut things down for the lack of “real” cars? I say no! Yes, when I attend a car show I prefer to see “real” musclecars, but enjoy looking at most everything, same as when I attend a nostalgia drag race, where I would rather watch cars from back in the day go down the track, but I enjoy the sights and sounds of all of the race cars. Tributes, clones, continuation cars, will never replace the real thing, but they can help our performance-based hobby survive, hopefully for future generations to enjoy.

Actually I think you are missing the picture. Making a period style gasser or FED etc is one thing.Even a clone of a famous race car and claiming it's a clone seems to be OK. Making a NEW car with performance up grades using an ICONIC name like Yenko is misleading to say the least. Maybe a lot of us old guys want to re live their youth and have a car they could not have then, but longed for, in a big way Dunno. I'll say it again. Don is passed and YENKO Chevrolet is gone also. Make a new model Camaro and call it something else. Now will you get some guys with a lot of money to buy one? Sure but it will never be a Yenko IMHO
