Default Re: Bogus Yenko sighting at Carlise

Tom and others:

You can 'count me in' towards any efforts to making the authenticating process better.

Like Brian Henderson, I have not, and do not, issue certificates or charge a fee to anyone who calls me regarding confirmation of a particular car. I started my registry on a quest for information, not to make any money.

If The SuperCar Registry is willing to be the 'Central Source' for maintaining VIN #'s, I will release to them all of the VIN #'s of the '70 Yenko Novas that I have, but withold the conclusive info that I use to truly determine a car's authenticity. I will also provide timely updates of new information. If someone wants to check on a VIN, the SuperCar Registry can confirm the VIN, but at their/my discretion can then request some further info to see if it checks out.

I will still continue to do research, and search for cars/owners. I do not have the capacity or desire yet to build a website, and maintain it. This would simply supply some initial info by which 'newcomers' wishing to purchase a Yenko, can access the circle of people who can reliably help them. I have several experiences regarding the release of info where it has come back to haunt me, everthing from a complete fake attempt, to modifying statements on my Registry Letterhead! So, I am justifiably hesitant when offering this info.

Additionaly, I think this can help the whole hobby only if we can maintain the integrity of the information. From a CPA standpoint, integrity requires more than one set of eyes for reviewing, crosschecking information, documenting results, reliance on particular 'experts'in their fields, ect. Hopefully, we can attain this by working together.

I welcome constructive thoughts/opinions,
