Re: Yenko "fakes"
How many times do I and the rest of us have to say that we don't mind replicars. Every time this subject come up it seem that the owners of real cars have to defend our efforts to restore and maintain their cars. I have very good friends that own cars that are clone cars and have even helped them with their efforts. I have friends with clones that know more about Yenko's than some owners of real cars. Do I push them into the corner, No, just ask one. I think that having the club for legit cars is fine. If you wish to participate in the club nobody is throwing stones. False cars that are advertised as real need to be revealed. If you think that the problem is with Supercars only, you are wrong. Fake Z's SS's cars and many more are being sold as real. The club is only trying to help expand the knowledge of people that are just starting into the hobby or just want to enjoy these rare cars. You don't need to own a car to enjoy one. I love WWII fighter planes , but will never own one. The misconception that owners of legit cars hate owners of built cars is just not true. Only the fake owners are at risk. I enjoy all parts of the supercar/musclecar hobby. A Boss 9 is as cool as a Z/28 to me. Should the club let in clones? I am not sure, My feelings on this subject is that only the legit cars participate. I want to see real cars at the nationals not clones, but I am not against those cars. It's a catch 22. We go to street rod events, Nova events, Ford events etc, and I don't own one of these cars. If a registry is started for clones, will a legit car be thrown to the wolves? Any other views on this touchy subject?
