E-Bay '69 Yenko Disguised As a Z-28 Clone!

I found back on page 4 where he states it needs to get the Vin cleared up on the cowl area, and that there is a lot of welding in that area. My bad. It sounded in other posts as though it was more of the frt of the firewall.
Pics would be interesting.

I don't want to talk past anyone, but I see one sig difference: I don't put as much stock in 'sworn statements, affidavits, etc..' Heck, Joel Rosen sends out all kinds of paper! So, I generally look to the car to tell the story. An older, poorly done rebody like this one is not really hiding anything. It should be easy to figure out what happened once you get it apart.

The Shelby Registry is indeed a pretty good idea. I know that Tom explained that concept to a bunch of us several years ago. Not sure anyone wants to put up with the initial fallout though. Still a valid method, I would support it.

Marlin - just one question - have you even ever seen this car?

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Just one answer - nope! This car was for sale in an envelope 10-12 years ago. I don't need to see it.

this reminds me of a certain green 1969 RS Z28 that was made up from removed VIN numbers and great paperwork a few years ago ...

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Very true, it happens more than we all realize.

Honestly, I hope I'm wrong and this car finds its original f/wall, or the correct stamps are found on the same f/wall, or the other car is still floating, or monkeys fly out of my.... well, maybe not the last one! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Marlin - You could save me a lot of work by supplying dates, names, etc. for the envelope story. Would that contradict the spirit of this forum? Aren't we all car guys who support the hobby? You'll note that I'm telling nothing but what I know first hand about this car - no second/third hand B.S. If that story were true, was someone simply saying that they would be willing to remove the vin from this car and sell it with the title (very illegal)? I have the list of titled owners - let's track down the story - tell us what you know specifically. I'm really after the truth and maybe you can help.

Jim - That's the very reason that a continuous chain of owners and statements of condition, originality, etc. is soooo critical to the pedigree of a car. Everything else can be made up, but owners with phone numbers (so that you can talk to them and/or their heirs) and sworn statements are hard to fake.

The bottom line is there needs to be physical inspection of the car. Owners recollection of a car can help but they can fade over the years. Rather than debate this why don't you start the physical inspection process and validate your claim/position. By repeatedly stating this is not a rebody proves nothing. You probably spent several hours defending the car when a simple documented inspection would prove or disprove your theory. Is there a reason you have chosen not to do this up to this point.

This thread isn't going anywhere without a documented inspection of the cars integrity.
