its a fake tag.... its a clone. Its ok to put emblems on a 69 and call it a clone but put a fake tag and thats not? its a clone. the nicest one you will ever find. But a clone it is. And it was built in LA...all yenkos were norwood cars correct? a clone. steve

Just curious about the tag. Most clones don't go to that much work to dup the door jam tag. Any reason why you chose #8031? I don't have any info on #31, so can't tell ya if that number is a red car or not.

Either way, if it's an LA car, that should be enough to alert any future - future owners/sellers/buyers.

Marlin,
I have no idea why we chose the 31 car. As far as i know it hasnt been found yet. As long as Minas name or mine are around that car it will be a clone and nothing else.
hes a great kid and wanted the best. He wanted it exact !
The LA VIN is a sure giveaway but you know how some people are... always trying to stir things up.
look at the subject title. He dosent want to get blasted for his car, Hes damn proud of it and should be !!
maybe we'll be running it at the next supercar reunion
showing the people how the next generation of car guys can do it too !!! see ya steve

Obsessive!

I wanted to take the word 'clone' back and get respect with this car. People call cars with Yenko stickers 'tributes' or a 'recreation' and it stinks. Going by this forum most agree. At SuperChevy the first question I received was "what the hell is that box behind the brake booster?"... We all know it as the SW tach box but most people don't. This stuff has become less of a secret and more mainstream but none the less Rick's Camaro doesn't sell door tags and the other hard to find parts which is why I wanted them for this car. This project started from an LA car because of the good shape of the body... If anything I should've been blasted for that but I guess its a good thing because it shows my intent.

Don't get me wrong guys freaking out its a real Yenko is a part of the fun too

Using an LA body was actually a good thing, or using a 6 cyl body, that way you can make it as exact as you wish - and anyone with intelligence can appreciate your hard work without getting duped. Enjoy!!
