It can also be looked upon as a tribute to Don Yenko.

Which is exactly what Dale Earnahrdt's Intimidator SS's were-a tribute to his good freind. Commissioned and partnered with GM,trademarked by him, and sold through his chevrolet dealership.

It's all good

That would be fine if you did a tribute to Don and the Yenko Family and all the profit earned should go to charity instead of the pockets of people trying to sell cars with his name. Im done, carry on!!! Mark

Lets refocus this thread on its original intent, the car itself. What unique features, availability and pricing. Possibly a member has an idea for an option. If you are not interested that's fine but this threads intent was to enlighten those that may be interested in finding out more about the proposed 5th generation Yenko.

FWIW I am not in anyway involved in this project, but find the negativity of some of the post disturbing.

Mark, You know what I have been thru with my car!! Hell my car is real!!! I don't get where your coming from.

A portion of profits should go to the family for name sake. Also, what about all the yenko items? They should own the trademark. 2 cent, cousin of 50 cent.

I don't think Shelby can die I think he will just keep installing reproduction body parts and live forever. He is already the longest living heart transplant survivor in history. His new CEO Amy Boylan hired an expert and cleaned up all his trade mark and trade name issue's. Those rights will pass to his assigns and there will be no problems if Ole Shel ever passes.

In regard to the 2010 Yenko it sounds to me like a great idea and will be a great tribute to Yenko and introduce a lot of young people to the original cars and their legacy.

Of course Shebly won't have any problems....they are a publicly traded company since 2003. (NASDAQ: CSBI) Most don't ever realize he did this 6 years ago.

Going public with his latest company didn't solve his long standing issues with the use and misuse of his trademark and other property rights. Anyone can take a private company public that doesn't resolve any intellectual property matters.

From my observations it wasn't until Amy Boylan came along with her previous experience at Mattel Inc. and the merchandising rights she learned about at mattel that Shelby
finally was able to stop all the companies using the Shelby name on memorabalia and the myriad of different products people were selling with his name and logo on it. She then focused on selling anything and everything with his name on it and generated huge sums of capital for him to build cars along with Ford's funds and input.

Because she knew the right law firm from her experience at Mattel she was able to stop the unauthorized use of the Shelby name and preserve it for whomever he designates the rights after he passes.

The sYc would like nothing better then to see a portion of any item sold that is related to Yenko built/sold cars, past and present, go to family members and/or a charity of their choice.
