This post has been a whirlwind today! Clint congrats on your find, hope it turns out great for you, and another possible Yenko find is great for the hobby and preservation of these great cars,but bashing each other over a car deal, when it can only cause hard feelings is absolutely insane, especially when you guys are going to see each other at shows and other functions for these cars! I think that Mr. Yenko was trying to look out for Mark Hasset's best interest when he thought the cars had the same VIN#'s, but I came across a website last night that really disturbs me and it should concern everyone else in this hobby,(
www.trimtags.com), they restamp trim to your specifications, and they claim not re-stamp VIN tags, but if they can do trim tags, I know they have the ability to do VIN# tags, so what would stop them from or someone else paying these guys some big bucks to make these tags for a car, to say it was a Yenko, etc. What would the situation be if two identical VIN#'s show up for example for a Yenko Camaro and both cars are matching #'s, course one being a restamped block, and with all the right components BE rear,etc, but neither having the rock solid paperwork, as Mark Hasset's car does, and the VIN is the only thing to go on for a verification of the cars authenticity? For example I really want a Hugger orange black stripe,Black Vinyl top 69 RS/Z, with orange houndstooth interior, and I know that my chances of finding this combo, is like none to impossible, but when I find the right car, I will just change the interior to my liking and leave the trim tag alone and represent the car for exactly what it is supposed to be! This trim tag re-stamping really bothers me, and it should everyone else! I would like to hear everyone else's thoughts on this, thanks.
P.S. Lets keep this great site clean and supportive of the members and the hobby, no matter if you are a owner or enthusiast of these great cars!
