This picture looks like it was taken off this site under the supercar reunion photos of the individual cars! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Does this mean that Jim must sell his car for the highest bid accepted by this Guy? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
The picture was lifted right off the SCR site...BKH

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
I emailed the seller of this car and told him I had seen this picture of this car on the scr site and explained that if it is in fact the same car then thats cool,but if he is selling a different car and using someones picture of there car then that is fraud and I will contact e bay,lets see how he responds if he responds at all.

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
It is also my opinion that it is fradulent to use a picture of someone elses Yenko and try to pass it off as your own, but he did pick one awesome Rally Green Camaro.
I would be surprised if the clone was anywhere near the same quality as Jim's Yenko. |
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
eBay will end the auction, if the owner of the picture complains in the safe harbor area .
|
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Will they end the auction if someone other than the owner complains! Seems to me if they are made aware of a FRAUD and they do nothing about it then they are just as guilty as the seller.I don't know why someone would pull a stupid trick like that,using a picture of another car for their own.I guess everyone can't be honest.I am building a 67 SS Chevelle that I feel has ties to Nickey Chevrolet but until I can prove it,it is a Nickey Clone! I would not attempt to try and make anyone believe it is a real Nickey car until I have some sort of PROOF!

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
I was just coming here to post the exact same thing.
|
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Bobby,
What do you think you have an SS Chevelle sold from Nickey or a Conversion car? What info do you have which makes you believe it is a Nickey Chevelle? |
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Well when I had the car stripped to bare metal there were 2 extra holes in the front fenders above the crossed 396 flags,we had no idea as to what they were for so they were welded up,after talking to some people and explaining the holes I was told it could possibly be a Nickey car.I had never heard of Nickey at that point.I purchased the car from the second owner.He had purchased the car from the owner that had bought the car from Bud Moore chevrolet in Houston Texas as a used car.The car was stolen from the first owner and stripped.When I say stripped they took everything except for the rearend.The second owner remembers the extra holes and used bondo to fill them in.I went back to the guy I bought the car from and he told me how to contact the guy he bought the chevelle from.I contacted this person that has now passed away and was in very poor health and his memory was not the best, but he told me the car was a special high performance car when he purchased it.He stated at the time it was the only one around Houston of its kind,I asked about the emblems that went in the extra holes and he did not remember exactly what they were, I did not mention Nickey to him for I did not want to put words in his mouth,the old guy suffered from alzheimers and a host of other medical problems and passed away 2 months after I spoke on the phone too him.I had asked about any old photos of the car but he had none and had no old paper work on the car.Also tho old guy has no living relatives that I can contact.I have tried to contact some old employees of bud moore chevrolet but have had no luck.I had the state run a title search but they can only go back to 1982 which shows the guy I purchased the car from.So at this point I have no definite proof,but still searching.I know this story sounds far fetched but it is true.When I disassembled the car I could tell that the front clip was original to the car and had never been removed.Thats all I know at this point.

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Bobby,
Not to offend but as a matter of fact based on what you stated you have nothing to lead anyone to believe that you have a Nickey Chevelle, but for two holes in the fenders? Was the car purchased new at Nickey Chevrolet? |
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Nickey didn't use a 2 hole emblem!!
|
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
I never stated it was a Nickey car,just a possibility going by what some have told me about the fender emblems.To my knowledge the car was not sold at Nickey but from Bud Moore Chevrolet in Houston.I was thinking it might be a possibility and possibility only that Bud Moore may have had it converted.I know from talking to some people that some dealers did this sort of thing(had cars converted) at least what I am told. Anyway it doesen't really matter too me if it is a real Nickey car or not, it would be nice if it was, I guess for the status of owning a real Supercar.But I never intend to sell the car regardless.I am going to put a few Nickey items on the car to make it a clone!! I will keep searching to find the true history of the car anyway.May or may not ever find out but when something new pops up I will check into it, I may never find the complete story of the car.But when I am finished with it I will send you guys some pictures of it. Should not be too much longer before she is complete just putting on some finishing touches.Regardless it will be a nice car Nickey or not.It will have a 396/375 hp specs,everything except the block is new,GM steel crank, H beam rods,crane solid lift cam,crane lifters,pro magnum pushrods,full roller rockers,keith black pistons,speed pro file fit rings,edelbrock aluminum heads, edelbrock aluminum intake,custom built Davinci Holley carb,center force dual friction clutch,new richmond 6 speed trans, custom built drive shaft,original gm 12 bolt 373 posi. Painted with PPG base coat clear coat, custom mix neon blue paint(just a little darker than marina blue with a bit of metalic)Car has been through a complete frame off restoration.Car is a real 138 car,buckets seats ,console factory air and factory power steering,I added front disc brakes just to slow her down a bit,I think you guys will like the pics I send you.BUT REMEMBER SHE IS A CLONE!!! And thanks for the information all you guys have supplied me with on supercars.I don't think there is a nicer bunch of folks anywhere than right here on the super car registry site.

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Evidently he does not care, as I sent him an email from the sYc Monday evening, informing him that the picture was the property of the sYc. Tom

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
AMEN Bobby! I think the more politicaly correct termonology in some circles is "replica". [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
|
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Has anyone emailed the high bidder informing him about the picture?
|
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Maybe since he won't respond, somebody should bid on the car and then retract their bid. When you retract a bid, you must then explain why you did. The explanation could point out the Fraud involved and anyone looking at bid history will be warned. Maybe we can all bid on it [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Charley, good idea. I have done it, who is next? Tom P.S. I have notified EBAY as well.
|
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
I'm in.....
-Frank |
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
I am there also!!!! Just wish our retracted bid reasons were on the front page along with picture!!!
|
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Hey guys, becareful about bidding and retracting it on ebay it shows up on you feedback and people might get the wrong idea not knowing you did it for a good reason. Mark
|
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Thanks Mark,
But I think Misrepresentation is a Very good reason. -Frank |
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
I thought about that, but felt strongly that something needed to be done, so was willing to take the "hit".Tom

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Lets all use our spare email addr. and sign up as a new user with ebay and bid that sucker up to $4-5 million!! I will do it if someone else does.

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
And how would this be Different from any other auction bidding on Ebay??? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
|
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Well we did it!!! The seller has cancelled the auction.
here is his excuse: Cancelled $17,000.00 Explanation:please rebid. I put the wrong pic up by mistake and it will be fixed tonight wrong pic my butt!!! |
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Did you see what he just did........
Not only did he steal the picture from here,but he bid on his own auction as the first bidder under a new name "Dreamrods",then cancelled his own bid,and told us why in the retracton column. What a slime ball. The Sellers name is RoadRex1234 & DreamRods! Ebay will love this...... |

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
He just hung himself. To be a cheat is bad enough. This guy can't even keep his own lies in order! No only is he a cheat but he is a bad one to boot.
|
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
I think you are confused. What he has done is cancel the only bid that was made on it and asked the bidder to bid again on his new auction. I don't think he was the bidder. When you cancel someones bid you need to give a explanation. I think we can let this quietly go away now.
|
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Wrong picture by mistake, bid on his own car! What a weasle...BKH
|
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
Thanks guys. Hopefully we prevented some one from being taken. Tom

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
sent me some pic's from interior and motor ,looks like a typical backyard BB slap in job,did have a 4speed no console,not the best interior,could not see stripes thought windshield with hood up.
wonder if he will relist the real car?? |
Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!

Re: Clone Yenko on ebay is using fake picture!
In ref; to the new listing of this yenko clone. I live about 20 miles from the little town of Blacklick. I do not know this guy, but i have had a few friends of mine tell me that they have seen a dark green yenko w/black stripes and small hub caps driving around here a few months back. I have not seen the car. After viewing the new photo on his re-listed auction, this photo may be correct this time.I am in NO WAY defending this guy.Im just informing everyone one this site what i have heard and this could possibly be the same car. Do not know of any other yenko clones in this area except mine. I own a 69 Yenko replica .I would not want to purchace a car from this guy because of his shaddy tactics.
