2010 Yenko/SC Camaro

[Dave Rifkin]

I have been reading all of the various opinions on this subject and would like to add my 2 cents. First I want to say that I appreciate all cars, including well done clones, and feel that there's room in the hobby for all as long as they aren't presented as the real deal.
Regarding the production of a 2010 Camaro Yenko; I tend to agree with the few who have posted that feel we should leave the original Yenko legacy as is and not try to represent these cars as Yenkos. If Don were alive and had a hand in the concept / construction of these cars I would feel differently of course.
What I would like to see would be a 2010 Motion Camaro; Mr. Rosen and Mr. Schorr are alive and well and a modern interpretation of a Motion Camaro from these two individuals would be welcomed with open arms by many I'm sure.
To Mr. Clary, I wish you luck in your new venture regardless of how I may feel about the concept. I can't afford one; not that it matters, and I'm sure I'll appreciate the car no matter what.

Dave,
Joel introduced new Motion camaros a few years back at SEMA. I don't know how many sold but I think not many? Joel is not turning wrenches anymore and building cars and essentially licensed someone to build cars to his approval using his Motion brand name.

Not sure how a company Joel gives a license to use his Motion name is any different than Tom getting approval from the Yenko heirs to build a new Yenko? Which it seems to me is not much different than Stefano obtaining the license from the Stephani's to build new Nickey cars or Norm Kraus giving permission to Bill Sefton to build new Mr. Norm's cars. I realize some of those guys are still around to stamp their approval on the new cars but are they not still all tribute cars?

As far as I know Shelby is still the only guy going to his auto manufacturing facility which he still owns and operates and building and designing cars and directing how things are done? Shelby to some extent is still involved in the day to day stuff at Shelby Automobiles.

And of course the Berger family and Tasca familiy are still going strong and sound like they will be building some great cars just like back in the day. Tasca has been turning out fantastic modified Shelby's and Mustangs for a while now. A 2010 600HP Berger camaro would be really cool.

O.K.,

Here is a question... if someone like Nickey of Chicago came out with a "Yenko Commemorative Edition" with an aluminum 427 motor and a "Yenko" theme to commemorate Don Yenko and his legacy, would eveyone be on board then?
