Re: Bogus Yenko sighting at Carlise
Tom, Brian, and all, I too think something needs to be done. Clones and fakes are becoming more of a problem in our hobby and perhaps the club could provide a registry or certification although hasn't this been done by Cunneen and the clubs? How could we make this different? COPO makes some good points. Without some corroboration from GM it's going to be hard as the exact numbers of cars built is unknown let alone anything on specific cars. Without exact numbers from GM it would still be somewhat speculative determining a car's pedigree. Also, the club can only certify those cars brought to them. A lot of guys I know are becoming more private about the cars as they feel some of the registries are done for individual gains as the info is only available to a few people. I know this doesn't help much but these points need to be addressed. What about a published potential fake list? Probably way too much legal liability.
