Default Re: Unrestored 1969 Yenko Camaro at Mecum

That being the case - what would be the difference between say a 1969 Yenko Registry (gotta start somewhere) and the Shelby Registry? The situations are almost identical. It just takes an understanding of the ground rules for inclusion (which SAAC has already sorted out). Shelby cars (especially Cobras) have at least as many "issues" as yenkos. A lot of them were race cars with ugly histories. I know that it sounds counterintuitive, but the registry actually discourages fake cars. The rules for inclusion are the key. There was a good article in the Spring 2010 SAAC Magazine (the "mail saac" section) that reviews some of the rules for inclusion. I can post it if anyone is interested. I'm not trying to be argumentative - the point is that a good public registry of these great cars can enhance their value and provide a valuable service to our hobby. I'm sure that there are a lot of folks who would be happy to help in any way that they can (me included).
