Matt,

-------I tend to think about repros a little differently.Most of these clones have been out there(with the exception of the Canadian ones)for quite awhile.The original guys who built the clones probably didnt do them for monetary return.They built them because they couldnt afford the real thing and as a sort of tribute to Don Yenko.They are only out on the market now because they can sell them for so much!
-------This car sounds as though it has existed for quite awhile as it appears today.At the time it was built the builder most likely didnt care that he was starting with an original Z-car.He knew he loved the look and idea of the ground pounding Yenko Camaro and simply wanted to emulate that.If he was truly trying to dupe somebody he certainly could have done a much better job of it.Now the very fact that it looks a bit like an original car seemingly makes it worth what its worth.To make it back into a Z-28 just to sell it obviously wouldnt be cost effective.Hes lucky he chose to emulate a Yenko as opposed to just putting a custom paint job on his car as it would only bring about $10000 in that case..........Bill S
