Default Re: Were there ever any Yenko or motion cars built that had A/C ?

Sixteismuscle,
I inadvertantly started a debate on this subject several months ago; I don't want to resurect it. But to me a clone or "tribute" car (nicer sounding moniker) is made to look like an original, but with the absence of the intent to deceive. "Fakes" in my opinion, include ill intent. I have no intention to represent my car as anything but a nice clone. The problem remains, however, that if I were to sell it, the buyer might not be as honest.
Anyone with anything more than a passing understanding of the COPOs could see in a second, that my car is not real. A/C, 3.73 rear, unaltered engine code (mine is LE,) unaltered VIN on the engine, pass side grab bar...etc, etc. I support the concept of registering clones, and making the information public, so that misrepresentation could be reduced. But with all the clones out there, that's a real chore. And only the honest folk would register. You're right, this debate will continue, ad infinitum.
Gary
