...... It seems to me it’s only a good idea to use the Yenko name if the idea stems from this site or if you are high ranking member of this site. Just my opinion!

Salvatore, this statement surprises me, as it has not been that long ago that you were willing to pay a sponsorship fee to become one of these "high ranking members".

Jim; At the SEMA show a couple of years ago you and I had a nice visit, discussing your ’69 continuation car, as well as other Yenko related topics in general. Once I returned home, you contacted me asking if I would do a couple of things. One, you wanted to announce your ’69 project on our site, which was allowed, without censorship or a fee. Not mine, nor the club’s fault, that the car was not well received. Second, you asked if I would submit your idea to the Yenko family for their approval, which I did. Once again, not my fault that the family declined.

Why am I the bad guy now?

Its my understanding Stefano worked very hard and long to obtain the rights to the Nickey Chicago name. The cars are very cool and a wonderful reflection on the Nickey legacy and create a lot of excitement while bringing many fresh faces to learn about the Nickey cars back in the day. My kids would never have asked what Nickey was if I wasn't wearing the shirt around? Because Stefano and his guys are keeping the legend alive my kids and many others now know what Nickey Chevrolet was and is.

I have two Yenko Camaro's and would love to own one or two of the new ones Tom and his boys are working on. Who better than Tom and the rest of the guys behind the project to keep the Yenko name out there for this new generation of Camaro enthusiasts. Who has worked harder with this site and the reunion to keep the Yenko flame burning for future generations??? Where else can you go and find Yenko VINs and get first hand reliable information about Yenko's than here???If anyone other than Tom and his crew were involved I would have no interest. But Tom Clary and the other members of the project brings the creditablity to this project no one else has other than a surviving Yenko family member. Morever the most common question I get regarding my cars is "whats a Yenko" these new cars will not deceive anyone into thinking they are anything other than a great tribute to a great car builder named Yenko.

Keep the flames burning guys!!!!

Les.. I hear you. Though my grandkids think our older stuff is neat, they are really digging the 2010 Yenko. Bimbi planted the seed with those cool looking Nickey t-shirts, and now seeing the mock pics of my Yenko, are really excited. Of course they like the fact that we can actually take the 2010 "to town".

Tom, will you get approval from the Yenko family to do these cars? I would think that you would have to.

Tom,

As mentioned earlier, these new 2010 Yenko Camaros are going to be incredible cars for all to see. I can't wait to actually set my eyes on one in person. Think of all the people that missed out on their first opportunity to buy a Yenko back in the sixties - now is time to take advantage of another opportunity to jump on board! Thank you again from all us "car guys" to make this a reality. Kudos!
