Any updates???

The Yenko family has retained a trademark attorney in an effort to retain the rights to their name, and the sYc has done the same, to protect our rights to sYc.

We are hopeful for some sort of out of court settlement, but at this point up to Leonard.

For now, business as usual around here.

At the recent MCACN show I was told that a couple of weeks before SEMA, GMCI/Classic had a meeting with GM, pitching the idea of GM doing a 2010 Yenko Camaro, no doubt the car in the OER booth at SEMA. This would explain why in the last couple of years GMCI/Classic registered so many Yenko and sYc marks. If GM had signed on, no doubt with a licensing agreement from GMCI/Classic, big bucks for someone, unfortunately not the Yenko family.

WOW!!!! I feel bad for the YENKO family. They dont even have rights to their name. excuse this expression but Jeff Leonard is raping them of their name. He wants it they say NO and still get screwed. What is this world coming to???? This is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!

The Yenko family needs to take a page from Caroll Shelby's playbook. A lot of people bag on him for, sometimes, viciously defending his name and brand. His lawyers can slap a "cease and desist" on someone so quick it'll make your head spin. Plus I think they have won every case that has gone to court. Like it or not, in this hobby, a name is everything. That little name on a car can mean the difference between a $30k and a $100k car.

OK, so I'm resurrecting a thread from WAY back. I never saw a late model Yenko come out. What was the end result of this?
