I could be wrong but I do not think Lynn gets a single penny from the new tribute cars as to the best of my knowledge the Yenko name was sold many years ago and along with it the rights. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. As far as my opinion on clones and tributes, everyone already knows what my opinion is on that.

You missed the point of my comment Dave...

The point was people do it because they enjoy something or support it. Not to deceive.. like Craig said.. If you are in the market for a car like this you know who to get in contact with or what to check to verify the car. Like with anything that there are reproductions of you need to do your homework before a purchase..

Not sure how you can call them tributes when the company owns the Yenko name and has named them Yenko's. You might not like it but they are doing it legally.

Legally, yes from what I now understand, but let's say for the sake of argument that someone owned the name Renoir or Monet and painted a few portraits today and called them their names. Would they be a Renoir or Monet or something else? Don Yenko was the artist IMO and everything created after is a knock off of his work to make a buck. Corporate reference, not necessarily private owners and builders. I'm not knocking the cars, they're beautiful. I just dont care for them badging them with the Yenko name.

everyone has an opinion and there isn't any one more right than the next. its healthy and informative beacuse we are able to learn and understand each other's point of views here in these these forums. this allows us to get and give info that we might not have had prior to asking questions. we have Charley to thank for that by creating this little corner of cyber space.

again---for me my tribute car is a reverent tip of the hat to the automotive past. when these cars are gone, so is a little bit more of automotive history. my motivation has absolutely nothing to do with falsehoods &amp; automotive trickery.

the Chevy Performance 427 crate engine will be ordered within the next 2 weeks !!!!!!

it's gonna be a bad ass ride...
