Re: Yenko brand reborn?
Well..I read this thread and had a few thoughts....
I actually tried to buy the #34 02 ZL-1, but it I wanted it fathom Green like my original car, but it was already too late when I found out about them being made...I think the tribute cars are really cool..but they are what they are... Based on this thread, I am a bit confused. I'm curious exaactly how involved the Yenko family is with these cars. Obviously not in the same way as Joel or Carroll with thier respective "tribute" cars. But have the family members actually verbally or better yet contractually backed these cars in any way. Or is anyone from the family been contracted or is getting paid in anyway from these cars. I really like the idea, but as the builder and as a potential buyer, I would be concerned about this other entity that may or may not have some kind of "legal" rights to this name. I'm surprised they have not already contacted you about building these cars.Unfortunately, I cannot believe they are not going to want a cut...$$$.Are you worried about a possible costly legal battle...and/or court order that may cause problems with you continuing the build? Or worse yet if you sell some cars and then they want some part of the gains which were already made. It is a shame the yenko family does not have the legal rights to their own name without a costly legal battle. ..and I hope all opinions are allowed here as long as they are in a respectful manner.... God Bless America !! Thanks, max |

[ QUOTE ] It will be interesting how much different the new yenko stripes look vs what hennesy has done on their camaros (they look same). I feel if the new 'yenkos' do not involve GM and some form of copo aspect, its not true to form. To me, anyone can make a new yenko, but if you got GM to do something special, its a real step in the right direction of re-inventing images of some of these super cars of the past. I have a friend that has one of those 2002 camaro berger cars, and I like the way GM put their finger print into that effort, and thus should be the example how these new 'yenkos' should follow. GM should still have an idea of what Yenko was all about too, they seemed to get the berger thing. my 2 cents. [/ QUOTE ] If you actually take the time to compare stripe packages, I think you will see they are different. What did GM do to make the Berger 2002 cars special? I thought an outside source modified them. [/ QUOTE ] Tom, I respectfully think they look similar. I have only seen your yellow car and the list of pictures in the link below to reference. Seems like hennessy has not made up their mind. I did not know the 2010 yenko version was done. http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/...;cart=JzWxfdTE I also believe the 2002 ZL1 berger cars had to have some police chassis reinforcement option as part of those 69 cars (per what one owner told me this evening, and he thought that was an issue getting out the door). GM did have atleast one fingerprint in that car going out towards being a supercar. |

Re: Yenko brand reborn?
The Yenko family is well aware of what is going on in regards to the Yenko name. For the past several years they have come to rely on me to keep them updated on what is going on in the world in regards to Yenko. I exchange emails with them on a regular basis, and on occasion, visit with them by telephone. Recently our visits have been on a more personal note, the passing of Donna Mae Mims. When the sYc first considered doing a new Camaro, which was 2-3 years ago, when it became apparent GM was going to release a new Camaro, they were the first to hear of the project, the first to voice their opinions. Had they not approved of the project, we would not be having this discussion. The oldest daughter Lynn has really taken an interest in the project, to the point of expressing an interest in owing one. Lynn is not stranger to high performance cars, as she spent her teenage years working at the dealership, even applying stripes to a few cars. If that were not cool enough, she often times went to the races with her dad. Lynn has attended a couple of SCRs as well as Chevy Vettefest. If she can work it into her busy schedule, she will make a guest appearance in the sYc display area at the upcoming MCACN show. I have stated on many occasions that I feel the Yenko family is entitled to compensation for the use of the Yenko name, which the family is well aware of. This includes any new Camaro project. For the past 12 years I feel the sYc has treated the Yenko family fairly in regards to the use of the Yenko name, and will continue to do so in the future. Regarding any legal actions, IMO it would better serve all interested parties to work together, but that is up to GMCI and their representatives. Though they do have the Yenko name well registered, thus have some legal rights, I feel the Yenko family has legal rights as well, and as along as the sYc has the Yenko family's support, we will continue doing business as usual. For those who might be interested in having a 2010 Camaro built in the style of Yenko cars of the past, as I am having done, we can legally do it. |

Re: Yenko brand reborn? Update
For the past several days I have been exchanging emails with members of the Yenko family, who just learned of GMCI's press release, where Jeff Leonard claimed “ownership of the classic trademark”. They were quite surprised to learn that the rights to the Yenko name had been sold without their knowledge. As are all of us, they are wondering how anyone besides the family could sell the rights to their family name. Needless to say they are not pleased with the current situation, and are looking at their options in regaining any and all rights to the use of the Yenko name.

Re: Yenko brand reborn? Update
For what it's worth.....I'm not an attorney but I've had considerable experience with trademarks and in the end it doesn't really matter who has or owns the registration filed at the patent & trademark office. The bottom line is who can show prior and continuos use of the trademark in commerce...period. Trademarks are protected by the owner using them not by a registration number. However, the other side of the coin is if the original owner of a trademark knew it was being used by others and did not try to prevent it's use that may be considered having abandoned the trademark. I would think in this case being a family name as well as a business name it would be somewhat easy to show continuos use. I would hope so anyway.
I know in my case my family had a product we manufactured for over 20 years under a trade name. We never had the name trademarked but when our biggest competitor found out that the name was considered abandon by the P&TO he ran out and filed a trademark on it and sent me a letter demanding that I stop using the name as it now belong to him. At that point. he started using it. Sorry it does not work that way. Obviously we could show prior and continuos use of the trademark so his registration was reversed ours was filed and he had to pay me 20K to boot for violating MY trademark. It was protected by my family using it not by a registration number. |

Re: Yenko brand reborn? Update
I do not currently, have never, and probably will never, own a Yenko Camaro. I won't bore anyone with my opinions on reviving the name, nor on Detroit's current "retro" obsession, but I'll say this. If a 2010 Yenko Camaro is going to be built, this should be it's "home". It doesn't take one long to figure out that there is no group of people on earth more passionate and enthusiastic about these cars than the people here. That passion and enthusiasm for the cars themselves is refreshing to be around, even for a Ford junkie.

Re: Yenko brand reborn? Update
Last night while the sweetheart was shopping I was wasting time cruising what else but the model car section..
Included were a few poor Revell kits...a couple Yenkos, one a '69 Camaro and what was listed as a '69 Yenko Nova also a B/M '70 Chevelle.. What's interesting is the B/M car had a notation that it was produced w/ Joel Rosen licencing or words such as that also one of the Yenkos had a similar note and the other didn't.. All kits were made in China but I wondered if it's true that anyone's being paid for using the Yenko name and if so who would this be also how long has this been the situation?. But regardless of who's benefited from the above to date and as far as this whole issue and the new Yenko cars also any tradmark debate goes, I'm on the Yenko family and Clarys side 100 percent!. The Clarys respectfull and passionate ways of carrying the Yenko legacy along have no doubt largely increased its recognition and demand to the point it is today!. If things need to be tightend up copyright wise to ensure the rights remain w/ the family or whoever they decide to grant rights or pass it on to, I'd hope and expect most here would love to help support this in any ways possible.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif ~ Pete https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif |
Yenko brand reborn? Update 11-1-2009
First, the latest press release by GMCI.
<font color="red"> PRESS RELEASE: Westminster, Calif. – (October 28, 2009) General Marketing Capital Incorporated (GMCI) announced today that it will present its official 2010 Yenko Camaro Prototype to the public in the OER booth (# 23795) at the 46th annual SEMA Trade Show in Las Vegas, November 3-6. The company will present the modern Yenko almost 44 years to the day that Don Yenko's Corvair Corsa was officially recognized as a Class D Production Competition Car by the SCCA. The official 2010 Yenko Prototype began its life on a 2010 Camaro SS platform. The vehicle then underwent several significant upgrades including modification to a "Phase I" Yenko Camaro Supercar. Preliminary highlights and specifications of this powerful vehicle include a high performance 600hp supercharged and intercooled LS-based engine, Tremec six speed manual high performance transmission, Hurst short throw shifter, 6-piston big brake package and Magnaflow high-flow cat-back exhaust system. Plans call for three Phases to be available to take the fifth Generation Camaro from ordinary to extraordinary. This "Phase I" Prototype from GMCI maintains the unique retro appeal Yenko enthusiasts are so passionate about, while including significant performance upgrades to the stock GM specifications and keeping the car affordable. Phase II and III cars will have higher output engines and even more suspension and handling upgrades. Additional Yenko branded upgrades to this prototype vehicle include: the Yenko stripe package, official emblems and badging, retro-styled 22" Yenko billet aluminum wheels, Yenko leather interior package featuring Yenko Super Car (sYc) embroidered headrests, Yenko/SC sill plates, Yenko/SC embroidered floor mats and more. Nearly 45 years ago, racing legend Don Yenko embarked on a mission to build a race car that could effectively compete in the 1966 SCCA racing season. His inspiration resulted in the development of the Yenko Stinger, an SCCA race car based on the Corvair Corsa platform. It was in the last quarter of 1965 that Yenko's plans for that vehicle came together changing automotive history forever. Originally, the 60s era Yenko car was a special order vehicle, designed and built by Don Yenko Chevrolet in Canonsburg, PA. Don Yenko used the Central Office Production Order (COPO) program, a program GM used for fleet vehicles like police cars, taxi cabs, etc. to special order the vehicles and then modify them into some of the most powerful vehicles available. Today, an original Yenko is one of the most sought after Camaros in the world. For more information about GMCI or Yenko licensing, please contact GMCI Corporate Headquarters, P.O. box 12049 Westminster, CA. 92683 or [email protected]. </font> Now..from the Yenko family. <font color="purple">The "Yenko" family, who are the direct heirs of Don Yenko and his Estate, have never relinquished ownership of their name, nor have they ever sold it off or licensed it to GMCI. They have NEVER authorized any individual or entity other than the "sYc'', aka The Yenko Sports Car Club/Yenko.net to use it in order to promote and/or perpetuate Don's legacy, this more than a decade ago! GMCI does not have the approval nor the endorsement of the Yenko family, in order to use the Yenko name for anything, including a 2010 Yenko Camaro. The Yenko family is extremely distraught over this issue and for the first time since Don Yenko passed, they have retained a Law Firm to defend and protect their interests. </font> Needless to say the sYc supports the Yenko family's efforts to regain the rights to their name, and I am pleased to say that a couple of club members have already volunteered to help the family in this venture. As with Helen Gibb and the Gibb mark, we fell confident that control of the Yenko name will be once again rest with the Yenko family. |
Re: Yenko brand reborn? Update 11-1-2009
I think the name "Phase III" might be in use already. These guys are posers at best, Johnny-come-lately's most likely. I hope they have an expensive lawyer on retainer.

Re: Yenko brand reborn? Update 11-1-2009
I completely agree with you Chris. The styling of gmci's stripe on the "YENKO" is very reminiscient of a MOTION Phaselll stripe. I hope the YENKO family can win their name back https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
|
Re: Yenko brand reborn? Update 11-1-2009
Historically Phase III belongs to Motion Performance, maybe even legally?
It just doesn't sound right on a Yenko, at least to me. Don did use Stage I and Stage II for his Yenko Turbo Z28s. |
Re: Yenko brand reborn? Update 11-1-2009
I believe that Joel does legally own the PHASEIII designation. Im not sure but does it seem to anyone else like the gmci car is kinda trying to steal from 2 of the greatest supercar builders MOTION and YENKO?I clearly see styling cues from the Motion Phase III stripe in their variation of the YENKO stripe and using the phase III moniker is just looking for trouble. Maybe gmci wants sued.Stupid is as stupid does https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

No need to try and tie the new car to a legendary name like Yenko, Nickey, Gibb and the like.
