Honoring Don Yenko

[mahoy78spyder]

Well said Bobby, and no, I'm certainly not offended by your words.

Also, having been privilaged enough to actually "see" the unofficial Don Yenko museum in Alton, MO last year, all I can say is WOW! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] Since I too was born 30 years too late (1968), I only began to learn of Don Yenko in the early 80's when I began my first subscriptions to car magazines. I don't have the history of owning a Yenko, or even being old enough to remember them when they were new, but even with my limited knowledge of The Man, I stood there in awe at the sYc's collection that day. I for one can't WAIT to see this collection, as well as other memorabilia and possibly even "cars" in an official museum somewhere. Maybe it should be in Cannonsburg... maybe it should be whereever we can get someone to donate the land, but whatever the process, it is long overdue.

As for a "car" for honoring Don, I wish they would do a Camaro to be honest. And since they're now gone, maybe the discussion can be started "now" and by the time something is decided upon, Chevrolet will have come out with the "new" Camaro by then and one could be created with that new generation car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] I agree his history with the Corvette is undeniable, but a tribute car to Don I think, IMHO, is better suited if it resembles something he created long ago - the Yenko Camaro.

Now I hope "I've" not offended anyone. Just my .02 worth.
