Re: Hood Emblem Location
Steve,
What do you mean, "As you suspected"?...I told you that expressly, when you emailed me directly to quiz me about why I was asking for the information. You can call me, and anyone else with a clone, whatever you want. That's your right, and you don't ofend me. However,I doubt many classic car owners, Yenko or otherwise, have them for the "honor." They have them for the enjoyment.
As far as your point about future owners selling them as real, the reality is, we live in a buyer beware world. Anyone who spends $ 80,000 to $100,000 because of a decal (or proper location of a 427 badge, for that manner) is an idiot.
Having said that, I offered, both on this forum, as well as directly to the Super Car Registry, to initiate and maintain a registry for clones, to reduce fraud. My offer was ignored, leading me to believe that the issue is not about concern for potential fraud, at all.
I applaud the fact that you have a real Yenko...I wish I did, too. The reality is I don't have the money.
Someone once made the point that there are still undiscovered Yenkos out there that, if found, could be purchased cheaply. I guess it's OK to take advantage of the unsuspecting, if you luck onto a real one, but it's not OK to pay a fair price for a grocery getter, and convert it to a clone.
Doesn't seem consistant to me.
