I really wasn't trying to buy the car..actually offered to give the VIN to someone else..and actually GAVE it to a person I had a "run in" on here with (gave this person the VIN before any real post about it)...after we mended our fences..just curious as to what happened to it..

I believe the ZL1 clone on ebay already surpassed what a documented copo would bring......WOW! Clones described as clones bring more $$ than clones described as documented. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Probably because it takes the guess work out for the buyer

I have the feeling that I am wading in to waters that are going to get me into trouble. I have just officially registered with the site, even though I have been silently reading posts for a couple years now. I own two Camaros '68 & '69 which are normal old Camaros (except the 69 is an SS-350). I enjoy seeing all the talk about the Super Camaros and such on this site, but have never responded because I am not an owner of one. But, this post has my dander up. I agree totally with Belair...if you "SuperCar Gods" know of questionable cars you should make the info public. You are extremely quick to "blow the whistle" on those outside of your socio-economic class, the same interest in "keeping it pure" should go toward even those you may know. Registries have been set up to further the information availible, but if not all the information is there those references are useless. In other words, the keepers of the info should not hide behind the truth while exposing others. This leads to an unfair advantage on purchase/selling prices for your cars vs. those you "choose" to out. I hope I have misunderstood this whole post, but if what I understand to be the case is correct.....it actually borders on not only the immoral but illegal activity. Any one with these high dollar cars willing to stand with Belair and I on this?

Phil,
Until you've gone through the fire of this type of situation, how can you realize the entire picture?

Re: Yenko Camaro VIN 124379N615272..and its' histo
 

What "fire" do I have to go through to understand? All I am saying is, if there is information out there about cars that are less than what they are represented to be....it needs to be made just as public as those that are absolutely 100% authentic. Why is it important to let someone know if a SuperCar is real....but not important in every case to let that same someone know if a car is NOT real? This is all I am saying.

Phil,
I agree with your logic, and I realize your motives are good, but until you've been caught in the middle of somebody elses deal it's difficult to understand. Not all rebodies are so easily detected, so the guilty party will contest the claim. Then it's a shouting match, and although you may want to bring an inequity to light, you will become the bad guy - even though you never touched the car! So, sometimes, it's better to just let it stay underground unless the current owner already knows the situation and is ok with the discussion.

My main point here was we can't pick and choose who/what info gets posted....I think most if not all of the cars that are somewhat questionable are known to a lot of people...so one of the good things about this board is if you are going to buy something of this type you should be doing your homework first which would include coming to this site and others like it and asking questions first....I'm sure if someone came on and asked for info on a certain car and there were questions about it...you would get a note offline about the issue...maybe not on the public forum.

Re: Yenko Camaro VIN 124379N615272..and its' histo
 

What info would I get then if I paid someone from the forum to come and look at a potential purcahse for me? Would I get the straight story on the car (all potential inconsistencies disclosed to me) or would a get a politically correct, watered down version to avoid problems for the "expert"? Keep in mind that the car you may be paid to look at may be one someone you are friends with owns. I understand your explanation, and appreciate the fact that you recognize that my intentions are good....but still don't understand what is more important truth or keeping the peace. Even if you can't prove something, if inuendo exists....I should be told. If what Belair is saying about the liklihood of an offline message coming about potentials questions about a specific car is correct, I am ok with that. While it may not be a matter for public discussion, as long as someone is willing to step up and give information when asked, the system works. I guess the short question is this....If I had said that the Camaro with the VIN that started this whole thing was for sale and I was thinking of purchasing it, would someone come to me offline and give me the "history" given here? Or, would I have been given a rubber stamp saying "yes, that VIN is a valid one for Yenko #xxxx" end of story? There is a fundamental difference there.

Re: Yenko Camaro VIN 124379N615272..and its' histo
 

I would say absolutely YES that someone would either online or offline get your attention on how to look further....but remember also there are a lot of rumors too...so in the end you will still have to do what's right for you...this whole thread is making me wish I would have stayed in bed this morning !!!

Re: Yenko Camaro VIN 124379N615272..and its' histo
 

I understand all that. And, I think that is the best that can be expected. Thankfully, I misunderstood the thread to say that there are some fakes/rumored fakes out there that are held by "those in the know" that would not be outed for what they may be. That is what got my dander up, I hate it when those with the knowledge feel as though the rules don't apply....in other words I hate the "good 'ole boy network". These cars are too rare and too expensive to have those types of things happening. What a great discussion to finally get me out of the woodwork......huh? Thanks, guys. By the way, GREAT JOB on the white DANA/Yenko on eBay. I sat back and wathced that whole thing unveil from the beginning! Great stuff!
