Re: yenko 69 Nova Big Blocks
Interesting post to say the least.
As a casual observer I have a few questions & statements.
Mr. Clary, If The owner of the car in question himself has said that it is not a real Yenko S/C then why do you still insist that it is?
On another note (This may have nothing to do with the current discussion) Why are Jack Douglas *, @, or & (whatever they are refered to now as.) not refered to as Yenko S/C Camaros? I mean we are going to consider a Cannonsberg Delivered Nova that had an engine swap done about a year after the original delivery date done in an ex-Yenko employes garage a real Yenko super car but not a car that was born a supercar by the GM COPO package, and striped as Yenko cars using an agreement that the two dealers had come to because it was delivered in Hinsdale? (No I can't show anybody the paperwork) [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] Whats the deal???
IMO a car that was delivered NEW with an L72, ZL1, tuned L78, converted LS6, LS7, or a BALDWIN MOTION dealer/tuner combo, etc are real supercars. Ones that are done after the fact even the next day are not. If it is not in the original paperwork as being done or paid for to be done soon after, or can be verified by a trusted party that was on hand at that time it is not! <font color="blue">It has to be done or set up prior to delivery when the car was sold new. </font color> Dont get me wrong they are still awesome, interesting cars but do not fall in the definition of a new dealer built supercar established in my head by what I have learned from this great site. Thoes may be considered "day 2" cars to the extreme with great roots. They may be a Super Car but not a Supercar by definition.
These are just opinions and not ment to down anybodys car. Sorry to rehash the whole Douglas situation. I wish that I had one myself to have this discussion about. I just think we should stick to the original rules and not assign another situation a different punctuation mark.
