Default Re: 2010 Yenko/SC Camaro

Dave,
Joel introduced new Motion camaros a few years back at SEMA. I don't know how many sold but I think not many? Joel is not turning wrenches anymore and building cars and essentially licensed someone to build cars to his approval using his Motion brand name.

Not sure how a company Joel gives a license to use his Motion name is any different than Tom getting approval from the Yenko heirs to build a new Yenko? Which it seems to me is not much different than Stefano obtaining the license from the Stephani's to build new Nickey cars or Norm Kraus giving permission to Bill Sefton to build new Mr. Norm's cars. I realize some of those guys are still around to stamp their approval on the new cars but are they not still all tribute cars?

As far as I know Shelby is still the only guy going to his auto manufacturing facility which he still owns and operates and building and designing cars and directing how things are done? Shelby to some extent is still involved in the day to day stuff at Shelby Automobiles.

And of course the Berger family and Tasca familiy are still going strong and sound like they will be building some great cars just like back in the day. Tasca has been turning out fantastic modified Shelby's and Mustangs for a while now. A 2010 600HP Berger camaro would be really cool.
