Default Re: Is a "Clone' better?

According to A. Colvin's "Chevy by the Numbers, the "512" block was being casted as early as Oct. 1968.

It appears to be a nice car. However, the reproed X code trim tag (on a LA car no less) and stamped engine/irans VIN's , plus the statements of "If you know a lot about Yenkos you would know that the back panel is black on early production cars the first 50 cars were built in Jan of 69. This clone is more correct than some true Yenko's & "69 Yenko all # matching clone this is the most correct Yenko you will ever see" just seriously irks me. It is a bunch of verbal crap strung together to try make a "something" out of a "nothing" This car is not a Yenko, never has been or ever will be a Yenko and the real fact is, the most correct Yenkos I have seen are "real" Yenkos - period; and I agree these parts would have been better served restoring a "real" Yenko/COPO back to its original state. But then heck, the "real" one wouldn't be as good as this fake
