Re: Yenko brand reborn?
Well..I read this thread and had a few thoughts....
I actually tried to buy the #34 02 ZL-1, but it I wanted it fathom Green like my original car, but it was already too late when I found out about them being made...I think the tribute cars are really cool..but they are what they are...
Based on this thread, I am a bit confused. I'm curious exaactly how involved the Yenko family is with these cars. Obviously not in the same way as Joel or Carroll with thier respective "tribute" cars. But have the family members actually verbally or better yet contractually backed these cars in any way. Or is anyone from the family been contracted or is getting paid in anyway from these cars.
I really like the idea, but as the builder and as a potential buyer, I would be concerned about this other entity that may or may not have some kind of "legal" rights to this name. I'm surprised they have not already contacted you about building these cars.Unfortunately, I cannot believe they are not going to want a cut...$$$.Are you worried about a possible costly legal battle...and/or court order that may cause problems with you continuing the build? Or worse yet if you sell some cars and then they want some part of the gains which were already made.
It is a shame the yenko family does not have the legal rights to their own name without a costly legal battle.
..and I hope all opinions are allowed here as long as they are in a respectful manner....
God Bless America !!
Thanks, max
