Re: 68 yenko camaro
thank you very much to all the people that e-mailed to offer there help with my 68 yenko
purchase. i have to admit that i was overmelmed by almost everyones willingness to offer advice. i am relatively new to the yenko owners family and have not met most of you yet. i have had the positive experience to meet brian henderson who was nice enough to travel hundreds of miles to help me purchase my yenko chevelle.his seemingly endless enthusiasm towards the yenko/supercar hobby is incredible. i'd also like to thank marlin spotts who i met when i purchased my first yenko, a red deuce. marlin was genuine in his efforts to help me every step of the way. his feedback and experiences haved helped more then he could imagine. chuck huber spent several e-mails with me and several phone calls talking about the 68 camaro's. omar in california talked with me at length about his experiences restoring his 68 yenko and has even offered detailed photo's of his car.there are others that e-mailed and offered there help and to everyone a heartfelt thanks. now the rest of the story....... my 68 yenko camaro is the real deal. unfortunetly when i picked up the car the owner told me the 140 mph speedometer was "stolen the night before". if anyone knows where i can get another one from please e-mail me. oh yea one more thing to get off my chest. whats the problem with vince emme? after all the helpful clues and suggestions i received i followed one which suggested i call vince.
he i was told was the guru,the man ,the one true source to look to. easy enough, i thought. after a brief introduction i told him what car i bought and asked him how i would go about having him document it for me.
the answer was quick and to the point."i was supposed to get that car. i'm not helping you at all......click,hangup,end of conversation. quite a different experience then i had had with everyone else i contacted. several people have now informed me they had similar responses. i didn't realize i was doing something wrong by calling mr emme. i was just seeking some help. oh well, live and learn. thanks again to everyone for there help. i will be starting a frame off restoration soon and will be in tennesse with my chevelle. hope to meet some of you there.
