A portion of profits should go to the family for name sake. Also, what about all the yenko items? They should own the trademark. 2 cent, cousin of 50 cent.

The sYc would like nothing better then to see a portion of any item sold that is related to Yenko built/sold cars, past and present, go to family members and/or a charity of their choice.

Kim I know you had trouble with your car but it was a REAL car not some made up sticker/mod package from a dealership that no longer exists. If someone has a 69 Yenko and wants to buy a 2010 and make it look like the other car then they have that right, but to build a new car and use an old name is like reinventing the wheel. Im just saying that you could build a kickasss car with all new performance & technology and give it its own identity. Lets get back to INOVATION AND NEW IDEAS and make something that no one else has ever thought of and build it dont live in the past and move into the future.

Like I said before, I am all for the new camaro and the go fast mods. I just think a new name and a new future is in order for the camaro. The TC Special sounds good to me! let the all new car have its own identity from the rest! There is enough Yenko cars and stuff out there that no one will ever forget Don's legacy. Time for a new kid on the block and it might be you or Stef, Tom.

This whole subject of new Yenkos is really a sensitive subject to a lot of people. Mr. Clary's comparism to Grumpy cars is without merit though because no one is building a fleet of "Grumpy" cars for sale. I DID think that the Indian motorcycle comparism earlier was interesting though. Now that was a company that didn't even exist anymore that was resurrected and the final product looked worthy of the Indian name. Does anybody remember public opinion when that was announced? I think it was excitement by motorcycle enthusiasts and very little negative. This has been done before, and really not very long ago, with Matt Murphy and his fleet of Dick Harrell 2002 Camaros and before that it was his ZL-1's. I thought those were well recieved. On on the other hand, I think we've all heard of Mr. Shelby's disdain and legal action against "Cobra" kit cars. If it was up to him, the only Cobras that would exist would be the ones that he manufactured. Heck, I'm sure that kit car Cobras VASTLY outnumber the real thing. It is a free country so people are allowed to build, buy, and drive whatever they want. If anybody doesn't like it, I guess they don't have to buy it or even acknowledge it at a car show. That's all from my end.

The Badest Berger Car Yet!!!

I just received my Sept. issue of GM High-Tech Performance and it has a KICKASSS article about Berger's 2002 DH Wide Body Camaro. It not only made the cover but it has twelve pages to back up this Last New Muscle Car... The orange one on the cover belongs to Val Harrell and it is an awesome machine... I was told by Dick Jacques of Berger to list this article and let the public know that there are still two of these killer cars available... Dick can be reached at 616-293-1850 Here are some pictures:

Rob a lot of things have changed my mind over the last 3 years. I am a new father of twin boys that just turned 4 months, a new respect for old race cars, and looking forward to new technology for street/strip cars. I wish you all the luck in your new endevors but I think its a bad idea to bring a name from the past to sell cars. This has been done too many times by Chevrolet with the LS6, LS7, LT1, etc. I think if your going to make a new car give it a new name to let it stand out on its own. From what I have seen that Nickey Chicago has for sale it doesn't look that difficult to make a badasss car so give it a new bad asss name. Its just my two cents, like I told you at Jim's wake "Life is too short to worry about the small things". Hopefully we can talk next weekend at the show, I look forward to hear how your suburban is doing. Mark

I agree, why not create a new Legacy? Back in the day these guys were not well known and were selling cars based on the performance, not so much the name.
Fast Forward 40 years and now those names sell the cars. I am sure the Yenko name will certainly help you sell more units than an unknown name. But the fact remains, it is not produced by Yenko, so it honestly a Yenko?
Good luck with it. Do you have any renderings?

I don't see anybody jumping on the NEW Dodge Hurst. George Hurst is a dead guy too!!! We have something else to do besides this B S .

Last time I checked Hurst was still in business. These cars are modified by Hurst not someone just someone want to capitalize on the Hurst name.
