Default Re: Fake Yenko Beats Real Yenko in show

[ QUOTE ]
Frank, I had friends at that show and they all say when the awards were given out the COPO body was 2nd and then the crap hit the fan. They thought that was an injustice to the owner of the Yenko. I do not know if they fixed the problem at the show or after but your car did get a $15 award for a $60k restoration. From what I understand from a friend of mine that came up from TN was an entrant at that show, your car was in the Vintage Race Car category when he looked at it or something like that and got moved into the Supercar category sometime after judging ended. So to me the COPO body DID beat the Yenko like they announced at the awards presentation. This post will probably get deleted like my other one did earlier because it doesn't stroke everyone the same but I don't care. Nothing against your car as freinds of mine that were there said it was a nice restoration and they thought you got beat just like the Yellow L89 that didn't win. But my point is that just because a Yenko shows up at a show, no matter who's it is, it does not automatically qualify for an award. Supercar kid said it the best,

Well... let me set this straight once and for all. I am the OWNER of the silver copo car that was in the middle of a resoration. I DID NOT enter the car to be judged, we simply brought the car to the show to show the progress of the restoration. I brought it there for the people to get a closer look at what really goes on in a full restoration. So please get your facts stright next time you make a statement about something that you dont even know about.. you WERNT EVEN THERE, your FRIENDS were.. so maybe you should ask them again.

I was there with Frank and his son and they CLEARLY won.. my car was NOT even registered for judging. So please next time.. go to the show and see for yourself before you come online and start rambling on about something you have no clue about.

Good Day,

Fran
