You want to, "get close"? What do you mean?
What do you need this information for?

SnThetcOil:
The originator is building a 'tribute car', hence the name 'Unreal', so he does not have an original hood to measure from.

As I suspected, which denegrates the real Yenko Camaro's.
It is no, "tribute" to drive a car that is a fake, a bogus imitation, a lie.
I will never help anyone build a fake car.
It also opens the door wide for fraud when the car is resold. We have enough of that problem already withut encouraging even more of it.
The idea is to preserve automotive history, not to blur it with fake cars.
I see no honor in driving a fake car and certainly no, "tribute" either.
There were 199 1969 Yenko Camaro's built by Chevrolet factories and sold by Don Yenko Chevrolet. Period. Let history stand as it is, as it was inteded to.
As an owner of an original 1969 Yenko Camaro, I am not exactly thrilled with the idea of fake Yenko Camaro's driving around either.

All the Best,
Steve

I often have similar conversations about destroying the value of the Harley-Davidson with the sales of Japanese clones. I still have not been able to completely understand the rational.

It seems that people don't go for clones becasue it "cheapens" the real thing. I guess when you have big money into these cars, you have to be concious of that.

Kind of a shame that, for some the market dictates how great a Supercar owner feels about his car. I guess there can be some resentment for atrificaily lessening the value of a particular model.

I would be very interested in continuing this thread, as I am in the process of assisting a B-M Nova clone.

Steve;
This topic has been beaten up before, but we all agree that demand exceeds supply on these cars, which has driven the prices beyond the average enthusiast capabilities. There are a lot of very knowledgeable enthusiasts who still want to enjoy the ownership of a Yenko car, and feel that they can have some satisfaction with a cloned car. Nobody is thrilled with the idea of clones, but they exist, so we learn how to spot the real ones. Many of the clones' owners are more knowledgeable about Yenko cars than those who own a real one. So, don't bash the cloners, one of them may just save up enough money to buy yours someday!!

Very well said Brian and Marlin.....there is no way to avoid it.They will be built no matter what anyone says. There sure seem to be a TON of cloned Y Camaros out there right now.The least they could do is be somewhere near accurate in their depiction.

I think replica Cobras are like fake boobs. They sure look nice but they just aren't real. There are so many silicone boobs everywhere you look that it's impossible to appreciate a God-given pair when you see 'em.

As long as the cars are popular, what are you going to do. I am not a fan of these clone cars either. Look at all the Cobra kit cars out there. Two buddies of mine are building ERA comp 289 Cobras and to tell you the truth, they are fantastic. I dont think the clones are killing the value of your real cars. The real deal is just that, real. And I know a few clone owners that are more versed on the real cars than many owners of legit ones. If guys are building clones it only proves that they love the real ones. This is never going to end and it has been beat to death on this page and likley many others...BKH
