I think that car is a little over the top as far as clones go.Yenko camaros are nice cars to collect,but if I were going to clone one I would not go for a bolt and nut resto.Aside from being insanely expensive and a waste of possible parts that could be used to restore an original car,the fact is that there are now better ways to build these cars.I would have built a 496 stroker with a hydraulic or hydraulic roller cam to replace thae solid lifter 427,I would have used an off the shelf 850 carb not a "last one in the world" collector piece.Maybe even grind all the info off a perfromer intake and bead blast it and dress it as stock.Of course all these mods would be readily visable to a serious collector,but the overall image would appear stock.Such a car could actually boost the collector car market since the car might come across as being more practical then the choppy sounding clacketey original,and the performance on the street would be better.Guys trying to sell bogus cars as the real deal with shady paperwork and stuff like that is really what ruins the hobby.A car like the Ebay clone above does nothing to hurt the hobby.I bet that owner spent more building that car to the level it is then it might have cost to buy a real deal car just 5 years ago.That car is seriously nice and anybody who says they wouldnt want to have that car is full of crap.If it is 3/4 as nice in person as it looks in pics it is a very well done car.Not original,but correct enough to put up a good representation of what a real Yenko camaro is.
