2010 Yenko/SC Camaro

[Kim_Howie]

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.

[AMC]

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!

[DarrenX33]

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

[AMC]

Why not. Start a new legacy!

[Salvatore]

Yenko, Nickey, Dana, Gibb, Mr. Norms etc. is long gone. Let these new cars live on their own identity. If Berger wants to do a car fine they still have a dealership. Like Darren says....call it Camaro by: "The SCW" or "T.C. Enterprises" or "Bimbi Performance" of Chicago. Let the new cars with the new mods stand on their own. If not, it just seems to be a knock-off name of something 40 years old. Why would a 2010 camaro from a Chicago Chevy dealer or any other dealer have any clout if it says Yenko or any other long gone dealers name on it? Maybe a better name for one of these new go fast camaros would be "The Papa Johns Special." Can you imagine how fast your pizza would get there if delivered in one of these new rockets?

I agree with you Sam. Those cars should not be reproduced using those legendary names. Just my .02

This is just one of the great things about our country, if you don't like the idea or product offered, then you don't have to support it with your $$$$votes$$$$.

I have seen Iconic Brands brought back to life in Motorsports, some I even supported with my hard earned dollars and some I didn't.

MV Agusta

Triumph

Scarab

Indian

Just to name a few.

None of this will change what was done back in the day. This will not rewrite History. It may however bring enjoyment to the friends, families, employees, enthusiasts as well future generations, who have a pasion for these Icons and want something Modern which has a nostalgic tie to the past.

Carl Wegner wears a Nickey hat virtually every single day.

He chooses to do so because he says that no matter where in the US he travels, no matter the race track, someone is always ready to share an interesting story about the Original Nickey Chevrolet and it always brings a smile to those fortunate enough to involved with the conversation.

He is proud to be part of projects which help perpetuate these Legacies.

He was there back in the day, just like; Don Swiatek, Ronnie Kaplan, Helen Gibb, Nancy Gibb, Bob Lionberger and Lynn Yenko, Donna Mae Mimms, Mr.Ed and Mr. Norm, just to name a few, unlike many who have posted on this thread.

If you would like to try to understand the importance and significance of these Modern "commemorative" cars, why don't you just ask those who have been there themselves. I know I have!

One of the pleasures I get to experience is that not a week goes by where my family and I, do not get thanked for keeping the torches burning.

BTW, tell Ronnie Kaplan 82 years young, that the hours he spent at our shop, helping to design our dry sump system for the 427 engines last week doesn't mean anything..... He will tell you that one of the very reasons he is involved is because of the "Name" that car will carry and to quote him ,......"I don't want you to f^%dge it up..."

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...

Sal,

Are you concerned w/ the announcement of the SYC Yenko edition of the new Camaros because your company was perhaps hoping to offer a version yourself?.

Also can I ask how your turn-key '69 Camaro repop body cars are titled?.
