Tom - that must mean the the ZL1 (that has been discussed on this site) that has no stamp in the metal is not a legal car! I don't agree - someone did a great deal of research and proved that the body with the cut up cowl was the ZL1 car. Again, you are assuming that the "original body" is out there some where. Why do you reject the possibility of this body being the original body with a replaced cowl section without having any knowledge of this car. No one disputes the fact that the cowl stamp car was a total loss in 1982. Please understand that, if I just want a Yenko, I can certainly go out and buy one. The realy fun part of this hobby for me is the intrigue of the research. Many of you walked through that experience with me on this site (the burnish brown RS COPO). There were even some people on this site who helped me a great deal in the search. That's great community. We should cheer each other on - not reach conclusions before that facts are all in. I'm just a simple hobbiest - this isn't my living and I very seldom sell any of my cars. I don't make money on cars. I enjoy the meticulous search to find old owners and the stories of these great cars. I've done it enough times to know that conclusions shouldn't be made until all of the facts (in the form of sworn statements from previous owners) are in. I have a complete, sworn history of the burnish brown car including the experiences that each owner had with the car. That's my passion. As far as I know, none of the "experts" have even spoken to the Yenko owners of 30 and 40 years ago. That's what I love and it's what I will do for this car.
Just think of this Tom - if I went out to my garage and removed the passenger fender and looked under the heater box, and found the Yenko vin stamped in that area - would it make any difference?
