Yenko clone on e-bay

[Rat_Pack]

Bill, back in 1990 there were not that many Yenkos around and those that were, belonged to collectors. I drove the car to Atlanta for a cruise-in, and when I pulled up a crowd gathered and was all over the car. My wife and I were there for a couple of hours and I just could not believe that nobody was questioning it. Now if it had been my RS/SS car that I had at the time, everyone would say is it a "real" SS? That is the main reason I built that car as I was tired of people asking me if my SS was real. Also another reason was a "Yenko guru/owner" told me that I could not build a clone or he would take me to court. Shortly after it was done he received some pictures of the car in the mail telling him I was ready to go to court. I haven't heard from him since, and now I find out years later he was not the "honest" Yenko person I thought he was!

There was only one time that I was asked if it was real and that was when I went to sell it. Then and only then, did I tell anyone it was a clone. Plus they could have figured it out just by the price alone, and the fact that the trim tag showed the car to be Butternut Yellow and not Hugger Orange. I remember this one Yenko owner coming over to me at Bristol and telling me that my gauges belonged in HIS car and that I was going to sell them to him since my car was a fake. He was a real jerk. So I told him that if he wanted them I would sell them to him for $20k and I would throw in the car for free!
