Default Re: yenko 69 Nova Big Blocks

It sounds like an awesome car Stefano, but the issue I have with it is based on the fact that it was a car built after the fact. If I bought a 69 Camaro 327 base car, and pulled the 327 the day I brought it home and dropped in an L72 I had ordered when I ordered the car, does that make my car a SuperCar? I ordered it specifically for the purpose of doing an engine swap and racing it. I would say no. Now if I took my car to Motion a year later and had them drop an L72 in it, it now seems to be special. I don't think we can use name association to create a special category. I would call it a Motion modified car, but not a Motion ordered SuperCar. And I don't mean to pick on Motion, I'm just using it as an example. I think we're starting to blur the definition of a factory/dealer SuperCar by saying that a car that has an engine swap performed way down the road is the same thing as a car that was ordered with a 427 from day 1. Again, this is my view of the definition and I would still like to hear how others view it.
