Yenko "fakes"

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

UNREAL:

I see from your profile that you are in Chatanooga, TN. Have you heard of a dealership named Adcox-Kirby Chev, in Chatanooga? This dealership was in the Yenko network, although I am not sure what models they received, or what years they were participating. There is always a possibility that an undiscovered Yenko car could be sitting around. Pick up the latest issue of Muscle Car Review, there is an article entitled "10 Best 'Found in a Barn Stories'" for some interesting Yenko finds.

Restoring a real Yenko car is possible, it just takes more time to save the money, find the car, research it, and then restore it. I thought I would be done mine by now, but time and money are mutually exclusive!

Tom, Brian, Marlin,
I agree that real cars, and clones should be in different classes, just as Super Stock and Stock are different classes. My point is not whether we should differentiate between the real car and the clone, but that we should differentiate between the cloner and the faker.
I agree with Tom's point that when a clone is sold, it can become a fake, but if we register the clones, it will be harder to fake (assuming the buyer tries to verify!)
Tom, I understand your being overwhelmed with tracking info for real Supercars. I would be willing to take on the task of keeping track of the clones. In my opinion, a clone needs to be more than a stripe and a badge, but we would need to determine what the minimum criteria should be.
Marlin, Adcox-Kirby is now Herb Adcox. Never know they were a Yenko distributor...Thanks for the info.
