Yenko Clone appreciation...or not?

Mark Johnson...LOLOL we didn't have a company Christmas party this year darnet! That's funny stuff.

As for the 55, here is a link to some pics Rex took just before I bought it. I don't know how to upload photos into the window here, if someone would like to enlighten me on the process, I will send some photo's of current projects and the 55.

As for the comments here, I am in agreement with most of you. I have decided that it's my car...I have been waiting for 10 years to build it because I wanted it just as Don Yenko built it, I wanted to sit in a piece of history and feel what it was like to sidestep the clutch and mash the throttle in a vehicle just like it would have been in 69.

I love the idea of the sign, "None of the numbers match and I don't care"! Great stuff there. And I do have some different styles for the car, I have a set of vintage Dragmasters for wheels, but I also have original steel wheels with correct dog dish hubcaps for a more subtle look.

For those interested, even though this will be a complete frame off restoration, I plan to drive the car periodically and race it at the nestalgia drags here at Bonneville Raceway or as it is called now, Rocky Mountain Raceway. It won't be a trailer queen for long. A car like this is just too fun to let sit.

On a side note, I think you would be amazed at how many people have told me ways to alter the stamping on the block, alternator, transmission and rearend so I could pass it off as original...my hell, makes me wonder if I did have the money to buy an original, the leg work needed to separate the fakes from the authentic cars would be staggaring. Some of these guys are really really good at faking stuff.

Thanks for all your comments, I need to finish the 70 454 Chevelle I am doing, sell it and then it's on to the Yenko. The Chevelle should be done by June and on the sales block. All my money is tied up in this car so I can't move on to the Camaro till it sells. It's like I always tell my kids, "You can have anything you want in this world, you just can't always have all of it at the
same time.
