Gary;
No need to 'shut up and color', it is questions like yours that separate the true cloner's from the 'profit seekers'.

When you own a real Yenko, it does take a while to get over the reality of clones. I will not be thrilled when I am finally done my car, and take it to a show only to park next to a '71 Yenko Deuce clone and have to answer questions all night why mine is the real one. However, this is the way things are, and I have found that most real cloners have a true respect for the real deal.

As for buying a real car from an unsuspecting owner? I don't know of many people who spend a lot of time researching how to spot a real one, track one down, and then tell the owner what it is before trying to buy it. There is the occasional goofball that educates the seller, but why? Everybody wants a list of numbers so they can verify one if they think its real. (The seller would also have it then.)

In reality, the two real '69 Yenko Camaros that were found recently did not need a list to be able to tell that they were real - you just have to spend the time learning what to look for. The more people that know what to look for, the more cars that will be found!

Yenko:
I must be one of those 'idiots'!!!! I bought my car without a stitch of paperwork or documentation. I had done my research, and went over the numbers on the original block - not realizing that the CTB was for a Z28. I took an educated risk, and was rewarded with some documentation later on. I know what you mean though, it is crazy for people to spend big money and not ask the right questions.
