[sYc]

I saw this car at the 2007 SEMA show. Once I read the car’s signage, seeing that is was not one of the original 198, I simply gave it a casual look, except to take a good look at the trim and VIN tags.

While at the show I did spend time visiting with Mr. Barber about this car, the sYc and the Yenko family. During our conversation, he did make mention of a few items that he felt needed to be corrected, but at no time did I give my opinion or thoughts on the build of the car.

Since that time MR. Barber and one of his employees, MS. Washam, have been in contact with me regarding these cars, 1. inquiring about the possibility of their cars being registered with the sYc, (which has not been agreed to) 2. asking if I would pass his information along to the Yenko family, which I have done.

Once Brian informed me of the Super Chevy article, I contacted CARS, speaking directly with MS. Washam, telling her how disappointed I was in what MR Barber was quoted as saying in the article. Her defense was 1. I had said those things, which I did not 2. That the article was written over a year ago, which may be true, but they were well aware that the article was about to appear in SC, as this was taken from their web site “Look for the article on our 1969 Yenko Camaro Continuation in the March issue of Super Chevy magazine, due on stands in mid January”.

Hopefully MR. Barber will come on here and defend his actions to the group, or at least contact me to try and clear this matter up.


Unfortunately this is not the first time a casual conversation between myself and another party has turned into an endorsement, nor is it the first time someone has taken liberties with the sYc name in regards to a car(s). On more then one occasion a clone/tribute car has been offered for sale, with the only documentation being “..here is the car pictured at the Super Car Reunion..”, implying that the car is legit. That is why I view clone/tribute cars the way I do.
