68 Yenko Badging

[HawkX66]

I hear you guys on the loving Yenkos. I do too. I just wouldn't put Yenko badges on something I built. Maybe the stripes and other things I could see to carry on the essence of a Yenko, but not the Yenko badges. Different strokes for different folks and that's fine. I was just curious on the thought process. As far as new "Yenkos", yes, I think those cars are something created for nothing more than marketing and to make Lynn some money. If Don had something to do with it, that would be something all together different. Time for some new original ideas.
The wearing team jerseys analogy doesn't work IMO. You aren't wearing helmets, pads etc to make you look like you're the real deal. I have plenty of Pats, Bruins and Sox fan clothes too. Nobody is mistaking me for anything other than a fan.
The only reason why I asked this in your thread was because it looked like you had already gotten an answer to your original question. If that was wrong, sorry about that.

Lynn isn't making any money as she has nothing to do with it and does not own the Yenko trademark.

I wasn't aware of that Charley. I thought I saw something a couple of years ago where she was suing for the rights or something. Obviously I was mistaken. Thanks for the correction.

I could be wrong but I do not think Lynn gets a single penny from the new tribute cars as to the best of my knowledge the Yenko name was sold many years ago and along with it the rights. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. As far as my opinion on clones and tributes, everyone already knows what my opinion is on that.
