Default Re: What do you think of this car? Hemmings ....

This is a great site for gathering information and sharing a common interest. The old adage "it's not what you say but how you say it" or "treat others as you want to be treated" still holds true. This thread started out innocent enough but quickly turned destructive rather than constructive.

My goal is to share information, educate and assist one another. I am not here to insult someone or there car. If a question is asked I will share my knowledge which may seem helpful to some and offend others (by all means correct me if I'm wrong).

When a car is displayed in a magazine it may come under scrutiny, especially if statements are made that are counter to conventional wisdom. A question came up on the CRG site regarding this car's 9737 equipment and this was my take:
"I am not aware of any 69 camaros that had the 9737, but were not equipped 9560 or 9561 427 engines. However in 1968 all Yenko cars were in fact 9737 copo's and the 427's were installed by Yenko(427 conversion). Some of the cars were never converted and they were 9737 copo's with factory L78's."

By sharing this information, I learned that not all 68 Yenko's were 9737 equipped. This information followed my post.
