Default Re: More Ebay BS Yenko items for your collection

I think some of you guys missed the point Brian was trying to make.

First of all, you need to realize that he is THE expert when it comes to identifing Yenko memorabilia. He is the one who can tell you what/when/where etc. about certain pieces. The majority of serious Yenko memorabilia collectors (including myself) seek Brian's advice from time to time.

Now, to the point Brian was making. The license frame is not from Yenko Chevrolet, as advertised. You see, there was first Central Garage in Bentleyville, then Yenko Chevrolet (opened in about 1949, sold in 1981-'82), but also doing this time, there was Yenko Saab, Yenko Honda (still in buisness), and I believe maybe even a couple of others. Yenko Chevrolet moved from Canonsburg to McMurray in about 1972, thus Canonsburg stuff is the the most desirable, as that is where the majority of the supercars came from.

Brian was simply trying educate, and maybe save some one $$$, by pointing out the true history of the pieces. With all of the fake stuff, and mis-advetised stuff out, being sold as REAL Yenko memorabilia, we can use all of the help we can get.
