Re: Yenko brand reborn?
 

WOW!!!!! GMCI has some balls to try and trademark the name after the SYC and the Clarys and members are the ones that put the info out there for everyone for years.
I've noticed that this hobby the past few years has unfortunately acquired a BUNCH of dirty players.
I understand supply and demand but to completely undermind someone and do them like GMCI has done the SYC is just WRONG.
Perhaps a big nasty lawsuit isnt such a bad thing as it would send a message to people that like to play these games that the HONEST hobbyists arent screwing around anymore and are tired or doing all the work for years and getting the shaft in the end.
Whats next GMCI introduces the lauch of their Baldwin Motion brand??? I know Joel wouldnt have a problem taking legal action. Maybe the Clarys and the YENKO heirs should consider the same. Unless theres a hidden agenda somewhere that the SYC isnt aware of. Just my opinion https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I am sure you must have seen the new (2005) BaldwinMotion with Joel's blessing.

Yes, I seen the concept for that car. I was being sarcastic about Motion.

Re: Yenko brand reborn?
 

First off I do not think this is legal. Remember the knuckle head from Canada
Second we all can stop this in its tracks. If no one supported them and did NOT even recognize them as being Yenkos then I drought they would last to long . It has to made clear that any car they try to build is NOT a yenko
THIS IS WORNG at so many levels I do not know where to began.
AS for me they are nothing more fakes Someone trying to make a quick buck using
The Yenko name. I have been a judge in many car shows this year, Me if I saw one
I would have NO problem classing them AS FAKES
In the classic car world once a car is branded a fake it kills it.
And lastly I do think the way business has been lately that they will end up losing more money than made

Re: Yenko brand reborn?
 

Come on now it says the guy owned a Yenko at one time so that must make him legit.. lol

I wouldnt be posting all the new items/pictures going into these cars if you dont want the competition stealing idea's. JMO

Re: Yenko brand reborn?
 

The "Guy" is Jeff Leonard. Jeff is Classic Industries. That huge color Camaro parts catalog is Classic Industries. I think they still have the 68 Yenko.

Re: Yenko brand reborn?
 

I haven't seen a car built by a dead guy, yet worthy of me willing to purchase. They are only real,and original once.

Re: Yenko brand reborn?
 

I also found it interesting wile browsing the Patent & Trademark Office web site (I have a low threshold of entertainment) that GM has a Trademark application pending for the word "COPO". On 11/03/2006 GM filed an application for "Intent To Use" the word "COPO". If you know you want to use a word in the future as a trademark but are not currently using it you file an "Intent To Use" application. You also have to tell the P&TO what you intend to use the trademark for. GM has been given a third extension of time to file a "statement of use". I guess they don't what anybody to know how they plan on using the word COPO or maybe they don't know yet.

100% correct Sir ! That would include the SYC effort as well as the GMCI car or anybody else who thinks a 2010 car is a Yenko

Re: Yenko brand reborn?
 

How much would anyone like to bet that in the next few years GM unveils a new COPO CAMARO. That would be my guess if they are filing for a trademark or patent of the word
