I have seen numerous examples where pertinent info on the Marti Report was not correct.

I can remember the first time I saw Don's car in a late 80's issue of Super Chevy magazine with the color picture of it in color near a cornfield. I cut it out and hung it on my wall!

I am now proud to say that Don and Judi have become great friends and it is always a pleasure seeing them. For anyone looking for the real-deal with undisputed history that has been owned and properly maintained by a knowledgable enthusiast, this is the car for you.

The SAAC Shelby registry had truckloads full of documents discovered at Shelby's offices as well as discovered documents from Ford all of which provided unprecedented information for the Shelby's. Armed with those docs a small group of Shelby owners compiled the information starting in the 1970s along with information informally kept by other owners going back to the 1960s. This same small group of Shelby owners began a registry that has continously operated since about 1975.

The best GM analogy would perhaps be the Pontiac Historical documents and the GM of canada docs?? Tom does an amazing job with what he has to work with and all of us Yenko owners are grateful the sYc has the information available that it does.

I have seen Don's car and I think it breaks a record at Mecum and might only be hindered by the volume of other Camaros for sale? But as unrestored Yenko's goes with an airtight provenance it doesn't get much better than this car IMHO. I would love to own it.

We have 4 great Yenko Cars going to auction. However Judi's Yenko is the only Yenko Camaro in the auction.

BTW......This is a good time to thank Tom, Rob, Marlin as well as many others who have helped document and track these special cars over the years.

What am I, chopped liver?????? Judi said that she thought we were fighting as you haven't called lately. Guess this proves she is right.

I was wondering if the registry on yenkos keeps track of 'properly rebodied' cars, which are ex-wrecks (verified when and where seen), which have original engines (verified), which ones don't etc. If not, would Jerry McNeish be the only source to confirm these types of things (by way of getting a report on a car of interest)?

just curious...as I think I have seen a registry for challenger t/a's (run by barry washington I believe) and it has a lot of that detail in it if I remember correctly (i.e. which cars to proceed with caution on..etc). Its been a few years now since I was looking for a t/a, but I do remember a nice list of attributes he had for each VIN, if a motor is known but the car is still missing, etc.

I keep that level of detail on the Deuces, but I do not publish it - for obvious reasons!
