YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets

[MotownMadman]

Steve,
I got my jacket, super nice item, thanks to all who were involved. First leather I ever owned that wasnt black with patches on the back, might take a bit of getting used to. if I wear ir riding my Harley it will be easier to be seen at night. I got a question that will get you guys grinning, a Yenko car must have solid documentation to be recognized as being the real deal, so where are the Doc's on our jackets? I would hate to see anyone fake or clone one, considering the cost/value that is not out of the question. Possibly we can get a letter of authenticity?

Now I gotta go out and get a custom pair of color co-ordinated western boots made to match......I swear you guys will make a yuppie out of me yet!

Yenko Jacket Certification can be done for a small price of a nice 20/OZ prime rib dinner and air fare

GREAT IDEA MOTOWN (LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY)............STEVE/TOM?

That's why I asked Rob to handle the bookkeeping and collect the payments...that way you'll get a receipt from the sYc that corresponds with the inside pocket declaration. I could probably get George Kurien [the manufacturer] to make a receipt/memo that certifies it's origins, if you'd like. [That offer would apply to all those that ordered a jacket.]

Steve..............I hate to be the one to complain.......but have you looked at the inside pocket declaration? It says "Custom made for Yenko Sporscar Club".

The "t" is missing in SporTscar.

Is everyone else's like this or just mine?

I just got a PM from Belair about the same issue. Belair bought 2 jackets and one had a misprint like you describe, while the other jacket he got was correct. It' appears that some slipped through with the inside label discrepency. Everyone should check their inside pocket label for that error. I will get replacements for anyone that got a jacket with the label error. Send them back to me, and I'll expedite the exchange. I just checked the 2 I got and they were correct, but obviously 2 [so far] were incorrect.

Mine says "Yanko"......just kidding. The People with the misprints might just want to keep them as they are even more Rare....

[MotownMadman]

Charley,
Exactly! The misprint adds to the rarity, for those who know about old coins, the double die stamped dates on certain years are on the top of the value heap.

Gawd...don't give me a stroke!! Seriously, Charley, I want everyone to be happy with these jackets. So please...EVERYONE check for that spelling error on the inside pocket label. I tried really hard to get them out perfectly, but I was more focused on the leather dye colors, stitching, fonts, logo and collar labels being era correct, "Red Dawg". Let me know guys: [email protected]

Mine was taken off the assembly line and went straight to engineering where a RA V tag was tested...although no documentation has come to light yet I believe this is one of maybe 2 that escaped destruction at the proving grounds...later it was converted to a SYC approved Sporscar jacket with a new inner tag from the guy who is selling new Camaro bodies....however it remains to be seen whether this will be recognised as a true Sportscar jacket and not a re-body....
