Yenko Clone appreciation...or not?
I would like to get some feedback from the forum on how the group feels about Yenko clones. I have been collecting Yenko parts for the last 10 years to do my own 69 Yenko Camaro clone and am about ready to start. In the fall, at the last local car show of the season, a couple of car builder aquantences came up to me and made this comment, "Why build a clone, you'll get shunned at every car show and autorama because it's not the real deal." Really, is there no place for a really well done clone with all the right parts and numbers? Is that how this forum feels about clones? There is no way I could afford an authentic Yenko, this is the only way to really appreciate what he started in 67.
