2010 Yenko/SC Camaro

[Steve Shauger]

My input was never intended to answer that specific question, I was just correcting/clarifying your other statements.

I'm not sure why you're stuck on this issue or why you feel it is such a critical issue. Why don't you start by answering that question...

The new proposed cars are a completely new platform that can't be mistaken for the originals and time will tell if they can stand on their own.

As Tom stated everyone here is entitled to their opinion. This site is geared towards preservation and recognition of original cars which is why the cloning of original Yenko's was not embraced by our members.

I understand that GM didnt build the Yenko's, But Im sure they worked close with Don Yenko. However, In previous threads, this site stressed the fact that if Don Yenko did not build the car or if it wasnt built at Yenko Chevrolet that it was not a true Yenko and could not be called a Yenko. So, my question again is, how is it now that you can build a 2010 Yenko Camaro and call it that.

I appreciate the clarification. I believe I have stated why I think it’s critical; again, based on the simple fact that Don Yenko is dead and will not be building, endorsing, or participating in the project does not make it a Yenko. This is base on previous post from this web site. Now, if Tom or anyone else gets permission from the person who owns the Yenko name, then and only then in my opinion can it legally be called a Yenko. If the new buzz word is "new platform," or if you use continuation, clone, tribute, or whatever pops into your head the fact still remains base on early discussions on this site the car will never be a Yenko morally, but it could be a Yenko legally. Just my opinion.

Have Don's daughter/grandson build/put stripes on...then it's a Yenko...

I agree AMC but I'thinking a lot of guys here really don't care so long as they have a new Camaro with " Yenko " on it somewhere. They then can some how convince themselves that it's a real " Yenko " It's a shame to even consider doing this...

This car is built by GM not China. I would consider it more of a Yenko than the China 69 body.

It's really surprising to me the number of people that are really against this. I would have never expected. It's kinda even made me re-think the whole idea. Maybe the whole project should be re-considered and the Yenko legacy left alone for the legend that it already it is. I'd hate to spend a lot of money for one of these cars and see people shaking their heads as they walk past it at the first car show I take it too.

Mark, Im not against it. If its going to happen, it just has to be done legally and with written permission from the person who owns the name Yenko. From there let the industry and the free market decide whether its right or wrong!

I'm not against the idea at all but I think a "SCW Camaro" would be cool.

So your only interest is the legal use of the name! You're a true hobbyist. What happened to your concern about the acceptance of the continuation series by this sites members? Why is the use of the name any of your concern...

Most things are built oversea's. However, thats whole different debate on why! Im not sure we want to open up that line of conversation Kim Howie.
