Default Re: Where Are The Yenko VIN's?

Six years ago, myself, Marlin Spotts and Brian Henderson decided to combine all of our Yenko VIN information and post on Yenko.net for all to see, and I might add, share. Much of the info never seen before, for sure 50+ ’67 Yenko Camaro numbers. We could have kept the numbers private for ‘a select few” but we did not. Instead, not only did we put the numbers up for any and everyone to access for free, when contacted to verify info, we did this as well.

We have never turned anyone down wanting to verify a number, nor charged a fee.


Now this crap, basically saying we are not “true hobbyists”. And folks wonder why we get a little edgy at times, and why we decided to take a break from the "numbers game".

What are you talking about Johnson? I stand by Tom's statement, as well as my own reputation in this hobby - find me one person who would say that I held back instead of help out!

These lists have been out there for 6 years - get that, 6 years!!! You are way off base by making assumptions as to why they were taken down.

Mark, I love how you talk about the history of the cars from St. Louis area. You had two pictures of the two 67 Yenko's you stated they were sold thru Barford Chevy. When I explained that neither one was sold by Barford because I knew both cars. You blasted me for being on your a$$. Most the stuff you have put up here didn't make sense. If I lived in that area I would be talking to the people in that area. Have you taked to Kirkendaule or Rich Thomas or Gene Rains son?? I have!!! and THAT'S how you learn about them!!

Mark, my point is you guys need to be talking to these people before their all gone. The pictures Mark J has, you need to show them to everybody !!! When was the last time you talked to Rich Thomas?? That is what should have been done. Again you have take the time to look to find these cars.

I talked to Rich just shortly before he had his fatal stroke/heart attack and he said he wasn't interested in the past and old race cars, he was more interested about going fast today. Rich was a racer to the end and its a shame he is gone.
