Default Re: Supercar Originality

You could take that above to an extreme though, at what point does it cease being a Yenko. Me thinks a rusted out tub or cornfield find needing a whole body, whole new drive train, everything except the VIN plate ceases to be the legendary Yenko, for me at least.

I'm a time capsule guy, ragged original or inteligently bought dealer replacement parts when stuff got blown up suits me just fine as long as someone thought to keep a record of it. To me thats more valuable than a car that had to be resurected from date coded parts.

As for the stuffy Corvette crowd, they created this mess called a show car and numbers matching hysteria. Thats another topic or peave of mine - the Trailer Queen for another thread. Why own it if you can't "feel the legend" every once in a while albeit carefully.
