Last time I checked Hurst was still in business. These cars are modified by Hurst not someone just someone want to capitalize on the Hurst name.

Take every damn Capitalist you can find put them in front of a firing squad......

I didn't call Sam, Darren or any one else, but my wife as well as some paid business and legal advisors prior to legally purchasing the rights to "Nickey", resigning my corporate job and setting out to try and bring back a brand name in the Super Car and Hi-Performance parts business. I also haven't asked for their opinions regarding my current business plan.

If I had wanted to build a 'Stefano Bimbi'or other different edition Camaro, or just sell someone else's, then I could have chosen to do so.

We definitely could have sold just as many vehicles, with much less expense, however I CHOSE not to. I'm not telling you it was a smart decision, or even a profitable one, but it was certainly a calculated one.

So, thanks to all who have contributed to the unsolicited advise regarding my business acumen and a huge thanks to all of our customers, who patronize our business and who are too busy working and having fun to get involved with this thread.

Just for the record; Some of the Key people who were directly involved with building the Nickey brand are still working and supporting us today, in the best ways which they can.

Mr. Nickey never turned a wrench on a Mucle car or Super Car!

The Nickey Brand and Mark have significant value and historical importance to us. I am proud of what we do, how we do it and that which we have done to remind those who were there, to reminisce, while making new generations aware of past history.

Nickey ceased to exist because of many reasons, but mainly because the business failed. This was not because the Key people involved had passed away. The Stephani family made a decision to sell those rights off.

The Yenko family/estate has never done that to the best of my knowledge.

The fact that Tom Clary and family want to build a 2010 Camaro, for their personal enjoyment and to commemorate their real Yenko Camaro as well as the spirit, legacy and legend of Don Yenko and since the Yenko family is in full support of this commemorative vehicle, I say, "enough said".

This forum's mission is to protect Yenko name and to help keep his legacy alive and unblemished. We all as members, moderators and administrators have done that and it will continue. There is no other group better suited to build a Yenko. Regarding profits its really none of anyones business how and what money is made, although Tom has certainly been forthcoming. If its accepted by enthusiasts it will sell, if not, oh well...

I understand some are opposed, but as I have said before thats not why this thread was initiated. Again lets get back to the car. If you want to start another thread fine, but let keep this one focused on the car.
