I just heard that this group was presented with a Cease & Desist order at Sema. Anyone know anything about this?

Didn't see anything unusual while I was there..I even have a few shots of the car that was there in the SEMA post...the stripe is ugly in my opinion!

Yes..the Yenko family, Don's daughters Terri and Lynn, had Mr. Leonard and his group served with a Cease & Desist order at SEMA.

Their reply bascially said that they, not the Yenko family, owned the rights to the Yenko name, therefore they could do what they wanted.

I asked earlier but never got a response. Who was it that this group supposedly bought the rights to the Yenko name from?

O,ok. I thought they were saying they bought it from someone or another company. Thanks for clearing it up.

Well, if nothing else, the family can use publicity to make doing business uncomfortable for these people. I've already been commenting on this on every automotive news forum on the 'net.

Well, as much as I hate to say it I wont be buying anything from classic ind anymore. What a crooked way of doing things. This is ridiculous. The name belongs to the family noy Jeff Leonard. Whats next, is he gonna pull an "OCHOCINKO" and change his last name to "Yenko"? WHAT A TOOLBAG!!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

On a related note, I went back and checked the response to my comments on the aformentioned news sites, and they've all been deleted. Every one.
