I think replica Cobras are like fake boobs. They sure look nice but they just aren't real. There are so many silicone boobs everywhere you look that it's impossible to appreciate a God-given pair when you see 'em.

Denis - When you're looking for a "God-given pair" you need to check the date code.

What does that have to do with cars?..BKH

Let's not get too far from the subject which I think is fake CARS not human body enhancements!

Syn:
I understand your apprehension towards someone showing up at your local hangout with a cloned car. However, we have seen one of our buddies with a cloned car absolutely run circles around a 'real-Yenko-car, owner' with his knowledge of details, options, history, memorabilia, racing, research, ect.... Which guy is more deserving of Don Yenko's original intention for these cars?

Unfortunately, not every cloner falls into this category, and they can really create problems for everyone else. This is obviously why we are not big fans of clones.

There is a certain relaxed feeling when driving my Nickey Clone.....you don't necessarily soil your pants when someone gets too close or you accidently drop a 1/2 inch socket on the deck lid !!! I will leave the real ones in the garage most of the time.Why get ulcers ? I went to grab a bite at a local drive thru with a 62 Corvair Spyder Cvt. at the end of last summer.A senior citizen forgot that I was in front of him and forgot to stop. Must have been hungry but he had no idea he even hit me.Luckily new bumpers are cheap for Corvairs but imagine if it was something more valuable.(no wise ass comments about Corvairs)

Steve,
What do you mean, "As you suspected"?...I told you that expressly, when you emailed me directly to quiz me about why I was asking for the information. You can call me, and anyone else with a clone, whatever you want. That's your right, and you don't ofend me. However,I doubt many classic car owners, Yenko or otherwise, have them for the "honor." They have them for the enjoyment.
As far as your point about future owners selling them as real, the reality is, we live in a buyer beware world. Anyone who spends $ 80,000 to $100,000 because of a decal (or proper location of a 427 badge, for that manner) is an idiot.
Having said that, I offered, both on this forum, as well as directly to the Super Car Registry, to initiate and maintain a registry for clones, to reduce fraud. My offer was ignored, leading me to believe that the issue is not about concern for potential fraud, at all.

I applaud the fact that you have a real Yenko...I wish I did, too. The reality is I don't have the money.
Someone once made the point that there are still undiscovered Yenkos out there that, if found, could be purchased cheaply. I guess it's OK to take advantage of the unsuspecting, if you luck onto a real one, but it's not OK to pay a fair price for a grocery getter, and convert it to a clone.
Doesn't seem consistant to me.
