Default Re: Yenko clone on e-bay

I agree with MotownMadman. It doesn't take much more to restore a clone (or a 6 cylinder, for that matter) than to restore the real deal. Of course some parts on the real deal are hard to find and expensive.

The major difference in the resto cost are:
1. The price of the unrestored car
2. The "might as wells" I would spare no expense on a real deal. NOS or Excellent OEM whereever I could.

I bought my small block automatic for $1500. I will have $21,000-22,000 in the Yenko clone, by the time I am done. I did most of the work myself. (except the body work, tranny/rear rebuild, and seat recover)

It ain't real, and I will always envy those with the real ones, but it will still be fun!
