I bet the Pontiac guys are getting a kick out of this. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img] But hey, at least it is Chevy supercar related. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Dang Joe, you beat me to it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

What a cool find its amazing they are still out there. The car might not be worth much more but I'm sure it could still turn hands for a good profit. I cant wait to hear the story of how someone tracks down previous owners and finds the original drivetrain sitting in the corner of the garage.

This post has been a whirlwind today! Clint congrats on your find, hope it turns out great for you, and another possible Yenko find is great for the hobby and preservation of these great cars,but bashing each other over a car deal, when it can only cause hard feelings is absolutely insane, especially when you guys are going to see each other at shows and other functions for these cars! I think that Mr. Yenko was trying to look out for Mark Hasset's best interest when he thought the cars had the same VIN#'s, but I came across a website last night that really disturbs me and it should concern everyone else in this hobby,(www.trimtags.com), they restamp trim to your specifications, and they claim not re-stamp VIN tags, but if they can do trim tags, I know they have the ability to do VIN# tags, so what would stop them from or someone else paying these guys some big bucks to make these tags for a car, to say it was a Yenko, etc. What would the situation be if two identical VIN#'s show up for example for a Yenko Camaro and both cars are matching #'s, course one being a restamped block, and with all the right components BE rear,etc, but neither having the rock solid paperwork, as Mark Hasset's car does, and the VIN is the only thing to go on for a verification of the cars authenticity? For example I really want a Hugger orange black stripe,Black Vinyl top 69 RS/Z, with orange houndstooth interior, and I know that my chances of finding this combo, is like none to impossible, but when I find the right car, I will just change the interior to my liking and leave the trim tag alone and represent the car for exactly what it is supposed to be! This trim tag re-stamping really bothers me, and it should everyone else! I would like to hear everyone else's thoughts on this, thanks.

P.S. Lets keep this great site clean and supportive of the members and the hobby, no matter if you are a owner or enthusiast of these great cars!

Guys with 60 people online right now (the most that I have ever seen online at one time!) I guess controversey is what brings them to the show! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Actually I think once the dust settles we will find out that indeed this was the only RA V Camaro Yenko ever built...and Jim Wangers rode in it to get lunch for Bill Knafel. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

You know, this might be the perfect reason to buy one of those good-parts-laden "clones" out there. A Yenko is reborn and a rolling forgery dies. Clint, have you called Wagner's yet to see about that brown car? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

JTH...Trimtags.com has been around for quite awhile and I'm sure there are lots of cars being changed with trim tags to match but making a Trim tag is Legal. Making or selling a vin tag is a Felony so I doubt if you will see them doing that.

JTH74 · #**110** 11-17-2003, 03:39 AM

I don't think that they would re-create a VIN tag,but it still leaves doubt in some peoples mind, just knowing that the capability is out there and it could be done. I just hate to see it get to a point where people would come to you at a show and discredit a rare supercar, or not believe it to be the real thing unless you have all the paperwork, POP, and other documents all the way back to new or original owner. I was in no way saying that these guys at trimtags.com would do that, for all I know they maybe the most honest people to deal with,and would have the integrity not to do VIN tags to fake a car, I was just saying it leaves doubt in some peoples mind just the know that the capability,ability and resources are out there to do it.

P.S. I was just using that as an example, and in no way did I mean to offend anyone if I did so.
