As long as the cars are popular, what are you going to do. I am not a fan of these clone cars either. Look at all the Cobra kit cars out there. Two buddies of mine are building ERA comp 289 Cobras and to tell you the truth, they are fantastic. I dont think the clones are killing the value of your real cars. The real deal is just that, real. And I know a few clone owners that are more versed on the real cars than many owners of legit ones. If guys are building clones it only proves that they love the real ones. This is never going to end and it has been beat to death on this page and likley many others...BKH

Very well said Brian and Marlin.....there is no way to avoid it.They will be built no matter what anyone says. There sure seem to be a TON of cloned Y Camaros out there right now.The least they could do is be somewhere near accurate in their depiction.

I think replica Cobras are like fake boobs. They sure look nice but they just aren't real. There are so many silicone boobs everywhere you look that it's impossible to appreciate a God-given pair when you see 'em.

Denis - When you're looking for a "God-given pair" you need to check the date code.

Let's not get too far from the subject which I think is fake CARS not human body enhancements!

Syn:
I understand your apprehension towards someone showing up at your local hangout with a cloned car. However, we have seen one of our buddies with a cloned car absolutely run circles around a 'real-Yenko-car, owner' with his knowledge of details, options, history, memorabilia, racing, research, ect.... Which guy is more deserving of Don Yenko's original intention for these cars?

Unfortunately, not every cloner falls into this category, and they can really create problems for everyone else. This is obviously why we are not big fans of clones.
