Re: Fake Yenko Beats Real Yenko in show
Even though our Y-Camaro is a bit on the *crusty* side compared to the majority of the cars on this site, I still get quite a few compliments from folks telling me they dig the fact I'm racing a real Yenko car...sure, I could build an el-strippo clone which would be lighter and quicker, but would it be as cool?

Re: Fake Yenko Beats Real Yenko in show
So going on the 'sometimes better than original' logic, how do you guys feel (no pun intended) about breast implants?
Think about it.

Re: Fake Yenko Beats Real Yenko in show
The cost of something, the originality of something and the desirability of something don't really go together. If you wanted to build a Yenko clone with a correct dated X44 car, a correct dated 427 engine with all correct dated components, correct dated trans, rear, etc. it would cost you an easy $75-100K to build. Is it worth $100K to someone else? It all depends on the buyer. It's just as expensive(if not more expensive) to restore a car into a correct clone than to restore an original car that has some of the components already there. But most of the clones aren't even close to being correct clones and people still pay $30-80K for them.

Re: Fake Yenko Beats Real Yenko in show
The real problem I have with CORRECT fakes is the fact they are doing it with CORRECT parts. These parts should be saved for the real cars!!

Re: Fake Yenko Beats Real Yenko in show
It's not my intent to defend a CLONE vs a REAL car......but the cost of building the above parts and numbers correct CLONE had to be significant......however to see that $150K buy it now price is OUTRAGEOUS......

Re: Fake Yenko Beats Real Yenko in show
The only tribute he is making is to his wallet
 . With that said,the one thing I will give the seller a little credit on is that he has advertised it as a cubic zirconium, hopefully ounce it's sold it will not show up a few years from now as the real deal....
