2010 Yenko/SC Camaro

I appreciate the clarification. I believe I have stated why I think it’s critical; again, based on the simple fact that Don Yenko is dead and will not be building, endorsing, or participating in the project does not make it a Yenko. This is base on previous post from this web site. Now, if Tom or anyone else gets permission from the person who owns the Yenko name, then and only then in my opinion can it legally be called a Yenko. If the new buzz word is "new platform," or if you use continuation, clone, tribute, or whatever pops into your head the fact still remains base on early discussions on this site the car will never be a Yenko morally, but it could be a Yenko legally. Just my opinion.

I agree AMC but I'thinking a lot of guys here really don't care so long as they have a new Camaro with " Yenko " on it somewhere. They then can some how convince themselves that it's a real " Yenko " It's a shame to even consider doing this...

This car is built by GM not China. I would consider it more of a Yenko than the China 69 body.

It's really surprising to me the number of people that are really against this. I would have never expected. It's kinda even made me re-think the whole idea. Maybe the whole project should be re-considered and the Yenko legacy left alone for the legend that it already it is. I'd hate to spend a lot of money for one of these cars and see people shaking their heads as they walk past it at the first car show I take it too.

Mark, Im not against it. If its going to happen, it just has to be done legally and with written permission from the person who owns the name Yenko. From there let the industry and the free market decide whether its right or wrong!

[DarrenX33]

I'm not against the idea at all but I think a "SCW Camaro" would be cool.

[AMC]

Why not. Start a new legacy!

Yenko, Nickey, Dana, Gibb, Mr. Norms etc. is long gone. Let these new cars live on their own identity. If Berger wants to do a car fine they still have a dealership. Like Darren says....call it Camaro by: "The SCW" or "T.C. Enterprises" or "Bimbi Performance" of Chicago. Let the new cars with the new mods stand on their own. If not, it just seems to be a knock-off name of something 40 years old. Why would a 2010 camaro from a Chicago Chevy dealer or any other dealer have any clout if it says Yenko or any other long gone dealers name on it? Maybe a better name for one of these new go fast camaros would be "The Papa Johns Special." Can you imagine how fast your pizza would get there if delivered in one of these new rockets?

I agree with you Sam. Those cars should not be reproduced using those legendary names. Just my .02

So your only interest is the legal use of the name! You're a true hobbyist. What happened to your concern about the acceptance of the continuation series by this sites members? Why is the use of the name any of your concern...

Sal,

Are you concerned w/ the announcement of the SYC Yenko edition of the new Camaros because your company was perhaps hoping to offer a version yourself?.

Also can I ask how your turn-key '69 Camaro repop body cars are titled?.
